Hello all!

M46 was the last hope for the night. The poor EM200 was trying to keep up my 34 lbs refractors system and had some problems in guiding.

Nevertheless I salvaged some data.

This is M46 and friends for a total of 48 minutes, with 3 minutes subs.
I had to significantly crop the image because the whole FOV is huge!

Nice image of this sweet little PN. I used this aas a first light for my first light with my Tak FS102 and should go back to it now with a little more focal length.

nice image, well done.
