This one was rushed but also a first light test of the new image train setup on the Celestron 14″ EHD with F7 reducer. It needs way more integration time and extra channels to do it justice but I am happy for the FOV generally and to see this looking so sharp and detailed in the core even for 3m exposures. A good sign for future projects with this setup, although it’s tempting to switch to planetary now with Jupiter back in action!
