IC 1805, Heart Nebula. First light with WO Star 71 and LeNhance

[oymd]

I recently bought a WO Star 71 5 element scope here on the forums.

Yesterday was the first time I had the chance to use it.

This is the result of 20 5 minute subs @-5c. I plan on adding more, but could not resist having a go at the data I acquired yesterday.

😄

Flats and dark flats and darks (20 each)

Guiding with PHD2 on an AZ-EQ6 Pro

Image acquisition was NINA.

WBPP and processed in PI.

Very nice. Looks like you got a good one with decently flat field.

Very nice - did you shoot that from the Smoke? Did you use any filters?

[GoldTop57]

Haha - the clue is in the title 😀

I am certainly no expert, but I think it turned out well. Yes, I think the stars are good to the edge of the field.

I bought it from a gentleman here on the forums who hadn't used it for a few years.
