Hi,

Few weeks ago I made a change on my mount, swapping the MN with my Equinox, to try some wide field pictures. I didn't used the Equinox from a while so I was keen to find a sky object fitting in the bigger  FOV.

I found one perfect for this - the Flaming Star Nebula - IC405.

So:

9x1200 sec

9x900 sec

filter Ha Baader 7nm

EQ6/EQMOD

Equinox 80mm with Atik314L+

MaximDL used for calibration with dark and bias

image processing with StarTools with a bit of Photoshop to the end

I had some flexure especially when the nebula is going up in the sky and I found the cause - the filter wheel is not fitting well with the Equinox focuser. I need to do some adjustments soon.
