Second RGB image (Cocoon Nebula) with A-P1100GTO
« on: 2014 September 04 08:01:42 »
This is my second RGB image of Cocoon Nebula using my new A-P1100GTO mount taken from high light pollution of Reno, NV. I find TEC 140 APO and QSI 660 (Sony ICX-694 CCD) a fantastic combo for small to medium size DSOs.
