Description

This is the first image I've taken using my latest version of a travel setup- an AT72EDII with reducer sitting on an Ioptron Gem28. This is a really nice combination for taking on camping trips due to small size and relatively light weight.

This was taken over three nights- May 21, 22 and 25, 2023, in Bortle 7 skies, using the Optolong L-Enhance filter and a full-frame DSLR. The stars are a little elongated on one side as the reducer doesn't provide a flat field large enough to cover a full-frame sensor, but I still like it !

total exposure was 7.3 hrs:
146  x 180 sec
