NGC 6791 TEC 140 with AP 0.67 reducer. Atik 16 HR with CLS filter. 40 x 3 min subs

When I try stretching it harder it just loses that delicate appeal.

Thanks for looking,

David

Nice cluster. Was this with the moon up? (You mention that with the M27 post.) That might affect any stretch?

very pretty!

How do you like the AP0.67 on the TEC140? I'm thinking of picking one up as well!
