SH2-157/M78/M31

Posted By Michael Fulbright

After a long frustrating summer and then a completely rained out star party I finally was able to get some clear nights for imaging. This data was taken over two nights in the North Carolina mountains.

I used a FLI ML8300 camera, Astronomik filters, and a TMB80/480 refractor with a Televue 0.8x reducer.

This short imaging run has me really anticipating the star party in Chiefland not too far away!
