Description

Currently owning just one duo-narrowband filter can make it hard sometimes to pick a suitable combination of rig + target. My choice fell onto NGC7000 + Samyang 135mm + L-enhance filter.

First night went great, forecast for next night was fantastic as well, hence rig was left outside during daytime. That was a fatal mistake though as the Sun didn't ask twice and started melting my 3D-printed ring system holding the lens. Luckily camera and lens didn't fall down but shooting NGC7000 was now on hold.

With that option gone I had to use my 150PDS Newtonian + 533MC Pro + L-enhance and decided to collect some photons on NGC6888. Short summer nights but clear skies allowed for 25 hours total integration time and seeing the outcome I don't regret my target swap
