Image DetailsRight is 94.4 degrees E of N. Total integration time was 10m. Exposure 30s@305g, UV/IR Cut Filter. Darks subtracted, no flats. Dithered and recentered in SharpCap. No guiding..
DescriptionBrief observation due to cloud conditions. Despite the very limited integration time, the diffuse filaments connecting NGC 750 and 751 were evident in SharpCap, and even more so after processing in Affinity Photo. This target is close to the minimum resolution of my 8" SCT, though because of the diffuse filaments, very little structure is evident even in the 200" Hale telescope.
