Pumpkin first light. I was wrapping up for the night,
knew I had the FOV to sort of aim in the general area and probably get my target, and shot one 3min frame
just to prove myself right.
Darker skies and a somewhat longer integration time might just be the keys to a better shot of this dim nebula.
But it had been 3 full years since I tried it (and the first time on digital), so I figured I’d throw something up there to make me feel like I was trying.
