Astro: Ngc 2175/2174
At the end of January we had three cloudless but a bit hazy nights, so I decided to get out my Skywatcher Esprit 150 APO and test a new 0.79 reducer. Using just 840mm focal length was a good thing as seeing was bad. And it still gave me 0.92 arcseconds/pixel with the small pixels of the ASI 1600mm camera. I had to resize this image to 50% to get sharp stars.
Taken from Berlin with a 6" APO at f/5.6 on an AZ-EQ6 mount, ASI1600mm camera, 65x2 minutes Astronomik CLS, 29x2 min RGB each. Stefan |

That's a difficult one for your location. While I normally like north up this one seems better suited for south up to see the ape face.

Rick,
actually this nebula is comparatively easy, I like to take it for test shots with new equipment because it is nice bright (good alternative to M42 ;-) That's why I dared to image it in broadband... Stefan |

For me it would be difficult. I'm used to a half moon being way more LP than I can deal with. My skies spoil me (when clear which isn't happening of late).
