Markarian's chain - 27 seconds test

Hmm, I was THAT close to mothballing my Sony A7s. Images with my 6nm ha filter were terribly noisy.

but the last lot of plain ole RGB images I nabbed with the 10 inch setup have saved its bacon! Maybe its the combo of dark skies too? Don't care, I'm keeping it and will grab 5min subs asap with decent collimation and focus to boot. I was so excited to see these faint fuzzies and details that I just had to share. Sorry for my enthusiasm!

32 lots of 27 secs and 6 lots of 1 min each. No real logic to the selection, was just pleased the whole system was working together (don't ask how hard it's been...)
