Narrow Field

[galacticphoto]

The focus today seems to be shifting to multi-giga pix cams on super short FL scopes, soon we'll see 100mm fish-eye lens telescopes for high fidelity all sky images.

To move in the opposite direction, I've attached a photo of NGC7008, a little blue and purple, heart shaped planetary. The photo was taken through a small camera at a long focal length, so the entire FOV is 8'X10'.

More seriously, the photo was taken with the SXV-H9 through the Mewlon 250 @ native focal length. A little over 1hr of lum, and 1 1/2hr of RGB was used.

Nice shot Gal, and made even nicer by your "buck the trend" attitude, well done. I'd gladly swap my wide field Tak for your narrow one. Keep at it.

I agree with Gary, beautifully done
