Default ASTRO: VDB 142 Halpha

and the last one for this week-end :
VDB142 full res with ST2K, 8"SCT FD5 with lumicon guider/reducer, 6X20 min
i had to deal with the clouds for this one, but anyway i achieved 6 good
20min shots. I experienced the same problem : the difficulty of finding
good guiding star through Halpha filter, so i used my 60 mm refractor
with starlight guiding cam (more cables!).

Do you have tube currents? There seems to be a notch taken out many of
the stars. I ended up with flat stars from trying to image across the
edge of my walls and through a tree. But I've not had a notch like that
before.
