A little play with NGC891

[Deneb]

Hi

Apart from the horrible seeing conditions last night, I had a chance to play with the 314L+ & the AA115, im quite surprised of the result apart from that inherited gremlin on the left.

LRGB, 50mins each channel, no calibration files taken.

I love that galaxy :-)

Nice pic Nadeem.... that Altair scope really is very sexy :-)

What is the 'gremlin' btw? Is that an artefact in the optics or a camera issue?

EDIT: Actually, looking at the shape of it... it's not some reflection from an OAG is it?

I think its a smear or something either on the filter or maybe somewhere on the flattener as it looks like it needs a clean...
