Re: What I imaged on a clear night (was: M27 with 110 refractor)

That is indeed a faint object, nicely done. Unfortunately I tried a 5 minute shot of luminance and got nothing but sky fog due to my severe local light pollution. I pretty much need to stick to narrowband images here.

I suggested LBN 438, and I'm pleased to report that my sky cooperated.
Here is 12.8 hours over two successive nights:

Clear and steady skies with good seeing. Maxim's guiding error was
around 0.4 arcsec on both axes of my 1200 mount.

Comments welcome.
