Description

This iconic vdB142 target in Cepheus has always given me a hard time. With my new setup, I gathered 6 hours of exposure from a Bortle 5 sky (with a 70% moon) and 5 hours from a Bortle 8 sky—both using the svbony SV240 filter. ---- Technical Data ---- 🔭 Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED + 0.85× focal reducer 📷 ZWO ASI676MC 🔴 Svbony SV240 ⚙️ Sky-Watcher EQ-AL55i Pro 🕹 Svbony SV165 + SV905 💻 Siril ⏳️ 350x120 s (11h 45min), with darks, flats, and dark flat
