Description

I am continuing to enjoy my new Epsilon E180 scope and ASI6200MM camera combination and have been interested in doing some comparison imaging to see how well it is performing relative to my RASA8 + ASI294MM setup. 

This is not the right time of year to image NGC7000 (too low in the sky) but if the results looks good then I know they will look great in August (when I took the RASA8 images below).

Guiding was excellent in Vancouver with the Epsilon at 0.4-0.5AS, guiding was so-so in Utah at 0.7-1.5AS due to windy conditions - the moon wasn't a factor in either location.
