Corona Australis CDK17

The weather around here over the last few months has generally speaking been cloudy or if its clear its short lived.

The beauty though of a permanent setup is I can flip a switch and be imaging really quickly.

I managed to get some imaging done in the last few weeks, not a lot.

Here is Corona Australis. In total I probably imaged about 12 hours but only 2 1/2 was useable due to cloud.

Luckily 17 inches of aperture can add up to a fair amount of light in 2 1/2 hours.

Planewave CDK 17, FLI Proline 16803, Paramount ME, Pegasus pier,
Astrodon Gen 11 LRGB filters.

LRGB 60 30 30 30 all 10 minute subs, lum 1x1 and RGB 2x2, camera at
-35C.

Here is an earlier image of it with an FSQ106N and STL11 to get the overview:
