The last several nights of clear skies has been fantastic. Last night I imaged NGC281, the Pacman Nebula. Having gotten a dedicated, cooled astro camera recently has been a game changer! Coupled with Sequence Generator Pro, the level of automation has been fantastic. This is hands down my best deep sky object image to date.
