Speed and aperture  C8 HyperStar? for Sh2-224.  It's on my list when I next have that configuration.

a couple additional captures over the last week to close out the month

 

these are with the Askar FMA135, PlayerOne Saturn-c IMX533, Filter are as indicated, Darks, no flats. 

 

the FOV with this little scope on this camera is 4.7x4.7 degrees square. Wide Field fun.

 

Auriga from M36 at the bottom to IC405 at the top. NBZ 

 

 

M45, clear filter, 

 

 

Orion's Belt, NBZ (pardon the plane and intruding tree...)

 

 

and finally

 

Sh2-240, NBZ. it took an hour to get this much. It was 10 minutes before I could reliably trace the brightest outline on the left

 

[bmcclana]

and the last two for this month using the AT60ED 0.8x, Saturn-C and filter as indicated. these two are guided images using the FMA135 as a guide scope with the Mars-C camera. 

 

both 30 min with 60s exposures

 

IC443 NBZ, gain 350

 

 

IC405 with UV/IR, gain 150

 

 

Thanks for the fun and challenging list.

The weather was (and still is) terrible this month, so I just wanted to add this capture from a month ago - since it was impossible this month.

 

 

M45 with the AT72EDII w/0.7 reducer and UV/IR filter.
ASI294MM-Pro using ROI and full bin 1 mode (46 megapixel).
30 second subs for 30 minutes at gain 300.  Hot pixel removal and no flats.

Excellent! It is one of the best M45 captures I have seen...

I hoped to get more EAA sessions in this month, but RSV pretty much wrecked the last couple weeks.  Here are my remaining views from earlier this month. 
 

IC 443.  C6 at 307mm; Hyperstar v. 4; IDAS NBZ filter; ASI533MC uncooled, 300 gain; ASIAir Pro; AZ Mount Pro.

20 sec x 40

 

Edit: forgot this one. NGC 2044 and B33.  Same setup. 20 sec x 40. 

 

IC 410.  HOS view.  This setup can’t capture the entire nebula, but it shows the “Tadpoles” pretty well.  C8 at 1450 mm; Starizona SCT IV Corrector; ZWO LRGBSHO filters in ZWO EFW; ASI533MM at 5 C; iOptron CEM40; ZWO EAF; Beelink U-59; NINA, PhD2, ASTAP; Jocular.

 

NGC 1931.  The Ha view was best.  Same setup. 

 

M1.  HOS view.  Same setup.
