Messier 101

Messier 101

Messier 101 luminance only, just a few 5 minute shots with the Parsec 8300M under mediocre seeing conditions. My filter wheel started acting up and it’s basically time to upgrade camera and filter wheel!  I’m looking forward to getting the QHY16200 once it’s in stock..

The Mak should get more imaging time soon.  It just needs good seeing and actual time.
