I was waiting for my target to rise last night so I thought I'd do a few quick frames of the Cygnus wall. This is a quickly processed, short total exposure time image of this star forming region in the North America Nebula.

ITE 250mm f/4 Mak Newt astrograph
ST-10XME
6nm H-alpha 40 minutes

Best,
Tom

Oh, wow. That is just so great.

You've got your equipment is nicely sorted out. The 10XME for the Ha shots and that wonderful Mak Newt is performing really well.Its half the battle working it all out.

Great processing and image capture.

Greg.

An ST10 at f/4 sure sweeps up those Ha photons.
Nicely done, Tom.
