'Twas an all-nighter - shooting several objects from 7pm until 6 am dawn. Seeing was decent and transparency was great.

First object IC1848 in Cassiopeia:
6 x 30 minutes Baader 7nm H-a, STL11K, 305F3.8 AP Astrograph on 3600 mount. Full frame at approx 1/3 size.

Will revisit this one with OII and SII later.

Here is a full size crop of the brightest areas. Nice little globules floating around in this baby.
Unfortunatley I had to reduce the quality of the image somewhat with Jpeg compression to get it to fit the 500k limit.

Spectacular image, Roland! I happened to shoot the same target last night. The image looked dim. No wonder, the photons were getting diverted towards Illinois! wink
