With the Ha filter it is a challenge to see anything where one is. That's the reason the object is offcenter. The particulars are as follows: Scope: AT8RC with William-Optics II ff/fr Camera: Rebel XS Modified Exposure: 20 exposures @ 10 minutes each @ ISO 1600 Total 3 hrs. 20 min. Mount: Eq6 Goto Astronomik's Ha filter Date: October 25-26, 2009 Processed with IP 3.8 software. The object can be seen here: http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu115/slenarz/IC41723percent.jpg Again, any suggestions or comments are most welcome.

Unfortunately, it is getting too cold for me to go to Gilmore or River Greens. I hope we still get to go to Calhoun sometime in the very near future.
