Description

This is an example of what can be done in 30 minutes from an urban area and full Moon with narrow band filters and the new Takahashi Epsilon 180ED. I had to use Noise Ninja and despeckle in Photoshop to tame the noise, but it looks pretty good for 2x5 minutes each with Astrodon Ha, SII and OIII filters and STL11000. Camera tilt and focus are critcal with this scope and camera combination. It took several nights of tweaking to get clean stars to the edges, but the effort will be repaid with excellent images to come.
