Fighting Dragons of Ara

Hi all,

After not a lot of clear skies for a while I took advantage of 3 reasonable nights last week. My target was Running Chicken but instead of doing a meridian flip just after midnight I decided to swap targets and get some time on the Dragons of Ara. In the end after 3 nights I had more data on the dragons than the chicken so I decided to process it first. Despite using my STC duo filter there was still a significant amount of sky glow in the subs. The joys of living in Bortle 8 skies.....

Anyway, I’m reasonably happy with the result so here it is.

170x180sec subs @ gain 240
ZWO 071mc @ -10c
STC Duo Filter
200mm f/4 Newtonian
HEQ5 pro guided @ <0.6 arc seconds
ZWO ASIair guide, capture and auto focus
