Description

After waiting weeks for a clear night finally got it last night, June 6th. Here in the Pacific Northwest this time of year we only have about 3 and half hours astronomical darkness and tonight we are back to clouds and rain. Here is what I managed with 3 hours of clear sky against a half moon. This is LRGB + Oiii.

Lum: 6 frames at 6 minutes each
Red: 6 frames at 3 minutes each
Green: 6 frames at 3 minutes each
Blue: 6 frames at 3 minutes each
and
Oiii 3nm: 21 frames at 10 minutes each

10" F8 scope with 0.62 focal reducer
