V1331 Cygni region

Managed to get 50-minutes of imaging done on this region before a blazing Moon came up using the 3 x Sky 90s, so 150-minutes total using 10-minute subs.  Needs a lot more on this region, including I think the frames … Continue reading

Beautiful clear evening last night and I put the Sky 90 array onto the Kemble’s Cascade region.  For around 8 years I have wanted to get a 4-framer of this one but didn’t have the time to allocate to it. … Continue reading
