Description

I shot this target last August and never processed anything because I planned to capture Ha data, but unfortunately ran out of clear nights. This was also the first image I captured at f10 with my iOptron CEM70. The few times I attempted this focal length with the CGX mount it didn't go well, I ended up having to toss most of my subs because the mount would jump and the backlash was terrible. 

Anyway, the image is way overexposed because I wasn't exactly sure how long to run my subs. In the end, it turned out OK. Definitely a learning experience running things at f10
