I've been nibbling at this for 3 nights, mostly at low elevation and in really hot conditions with air temps of around 30C. I didn't think I'd have a chance of getting faint nebula in summer, but this K-5 and 8" F4 combo is starting to surprise me, even in hot weather.
Don't look too close lest you see warts.
There's too many stars ! Had to Fred some of them to see the nebula better.
This is such a star dense region. A few hours near the meridian would be nice. Maye one year.
8" F4 Bintel Newtonian, Baader MPCC MKIII coma corrector, Baader Semi-Apo filter, about 99 minutes of mostly 1 minute subs, Pentax K-5, HEQ5 pro unguided.
