Description

Four nights of imaging in January and February 2024 using the SkyWatcher Esprit 100ED at Los Coloraos, Spain.

The first real test of the Esprit 100ED after receiving back my repaired ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera repaired by ZWO.  5 months later!

I have always loved this target and have not had an opportunity to image it at a dark site. Very happy with the results but as usual after looking at the very faint details in the background, I know it needs a lot more to bring out the Ha clouds.

Thanks for looking.
