Equipment:

Shot using Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer mount, Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED (72/420mm), Sky-Watcher generic flattener and Canon Ra (ISO800, 120s)

Description:

In the light of the recent news about a nova going off in the Cassiopeia constellation, a desire to photograph it appeared. Sadly, weather is not permitting currently in the Republic of Moldova. So I asked my good friend living in California, Tara Mostofi (https://www.flickr.com/photos/84642732@N02/), to shoot it for me and I would take care of processing it. We have very similar setups (same mount and OTA, but different cameras), which means that I would get a similar result. Only 14 proper light frames were collected, but it was enough to create a nice picture and actually capture the nova! It's not our first collaboration project and it feels exciting to know that even bad weather can be overcome.
