Lovely images which shows the vast extent of nebulosity around the Gem cluster region
Sii image for me as the HaGO seems a bit too saturated with colour and brightness ( only my preference)
Well done !!
I use Kendrick dew heater straps around my 8” newt both ends to prevent dewing on the primary and secondary. Works ok but you need to run them up high 75% for the first hour then back off to 50% for the remainder of the session. The straps are controlled by an Orion 4 channel dew zapper.For a 10” OTA you may have to wrap 2 straps for the primary side by side at the end of the OTA to warm the backend up enough to prevent dew. All depends how heavy dew is on the night.
