Messier 78

[Snoani]

Good evening

I picked up a second hand ZWO ASI 533MC Pro last week and fortuitously upon receipt the clouds have cleared, the moon has waned, the wind has temporarily dropped and I have taken advantage of this opportunity to give it a good test.  

I am pleased to present my first attempt at capturing the beautiful M78, which has been on my wish list for some time.  This image is made up of a little over 10 hours of subs, taken using a William Optics GT81 and HEQ5 (rowan belt), 

I also wanted to share a single sub that I came across when checking them this morning.  I have experienced 3-4 satellite trails in a sub before, but 9 is just silly.  I can only assume that Starlink are to blame for this intrusion.  

Thanks for looking.
