How do I write this up. I saw an interesting shape inside the Coal Sack and one Nebula RCW 74 ,So what do I get what will it look like. This came out nothing like I expected I thought I was going to get a B/W over all image but a bright nebula at the bottom. This was rotated but the focuser body hit the scope base plate so I just went with what I had rather than full proper rotation. You can imagine my very first morning of data and seeing all this colour I thought what went wrong. None the less I kept on going what I get is what I get. This started out as Ha Sii Oiii but Oiii was a blank shot of stars. This is stacked Foraxx Ha Sii this has blown me away, There is colour in space where you least expect it.
