Date/Time of photo:

02-01-21 to 02-13-21 (Several Nights)

Equipment:

Takahashi FCT-150 F7 telescope, ZWO ASI1071 One-Shot Color camera

Description:

The image was captured from my backyard in Gilbert, Arizona during the period of 02-01-21 to 02-13-21. My telescope is a vintage Takahashi FCT-150 F7 refractor, and my camera a ZWO ASI1071 One-Shot-Color. Because my telescope's focal length was 1050mm I had to create a mosaic of six frames to capture the nebula. Each frame consisted of 8, 10-minute exposures, which translated to 1 hour and 20 minutes of total integration. Stacking was accomplished with Deep Sky Stacker, and final image processing was done with Photoshop CC.
