Description

1-28-23.  Simeis 147 (Spaghetti nebula).  I had exactly one hour between cloudbanks that would be present all night.  I used the hour to image the Spaghetti nebula between Auriga and Taurus.  It is quite large and there was a high first quarter moon.  I used a Canon 200mm focal length, f2.8 lens but stopped it down from 72mm aperture to 52mm aperture for about f3.8.  I used my 533MM with a 3nm  H-alpha filter. Total imaging time was 56 minutes in 2 minute subs.  I guided using PHD2 with an Orion 50mm f3.2/ZWO ASI 120MM setup.
