vdB 10

[Tom Davis (Tom)]

This is vdB10. Nothing fancy; sort of a classical reflection nebula. I'm working my way through them as the weather permits. At this rate I should finish the vdB catalog in, oh, ten years!

I also added some luminance data to my recent Omicron Persei image.

Interesting Tom.

I almost bought an AP160 a few months ago but unfortunately the seller seemed quite dodgy and it was a lot of money so I pulled out.

I see quite a bit of vignetting around bright stars (the bars going through the bright stars). Much like the FSQ106N does on the bright stars at the edges of images. I wonder where that came from. Your 155 does not do that and neither does my 140 with 155TCC.

I take it this is a rentascope scope?

It is Ray Gralak's scope. He has it at New Mexico Skies. He has been busy for the last few months so he is letting me use it for a while.
