Horse Head Region in Ha or “where is my alpaca!”

Not really a complete image, but as it will be the last capture with the FSQ for the season (I got the new 645 flattener for the TOA 130 and am itching to use it for upcoming galaxy time), I figured I'd post it.  I wanted to shoot with the FSQ 106 without the reducer, but I suppose that can wait.

Great work Rob and should definitely work nicely without the reducer.  At least the horse isn't likely to gallop away.

What is give me pause now is choosing between the FSQ at 530 mm or the TOA at 980 mm. If I had a full frame sensor the TOA would be awesome.  I should try the fSQ native for a bit, but the new flattener for the TOA just arrived

That's the thing about the HH.  It looks great at 300mm and at 1000+mm, just different.
