After 2 nights of cloud tonight, night 4, it is lovely and clear. I am suffering from a cold, however I have setup and been imaging since 7:45pm. I have started with the 100 Esprit and placed the new Askar C1 (Ha +OIII) filter in place. I slewed to the California nebula and rotated the camera to fit the object diagonally across the chip as it is larger than my field of view. I plan on taking 2 hours with the C1 filter before I switch to the C2 (SII + OII) filter
Above is a single exposure of 300s
I managed to complete the imaging run then I tried to process but not with much luck. Fortunately I have a good set of friends who can process narrowband images and here is what they did!

They are all great and I am so happy with what my friends have done with my data
