Well another lovely night in paradise. Last night I imaged the Cats Paw Nebula NGC 6334.
4 hrs of exposure with reasonable seeing and I was surprised at the amount of nebulosity in the area. I think the overall appearance would improve with a few hours of Ha being added to the RGB but didn't get time last night. It may happen during the next bright moon phase.
I worked a bit harder on the focus for this one but with the seeing what it was the best FWHM I could achieve was 5.13. Not the best but pretty good for this area. Always hard when surrounded by big mountains and the thermal gradients they produce.
