Description

This picture is more like a test of my new combination of Lacerta Photo Newton + Starizona Nexus coma corrector. The conditions was bad: Bortle 5 city sky, high clouds passing, humidity over 90%, Moon 80% but still...I want to try it so badly  I didn't have a chance to take any flats ...the recolimation of tilt adjustment was not made neither so I ended up with pretty steep crop at the end. Fortunately there is not much other interesting objects around except IFN which honestly I can forgot about in those conditions anyway.   For 45min total I would say not bad... that combination looks truly promissing in terms of speed of data acquisition.  Sure lot of work to do with optics adjustment but still very appealing result.
