IC5070 (Pelican Nebula)77 views8x120s; guided by GuideDog w/Vesta webcam through LX-200 10" f/10 + 6.3FR; captured, stacked, processed with AstroArt 3.0; post-processing with PaintShop Pro 8.0
This was my first use of the 135mm/Ha combo on the LX-200. I planned on 60m of exposure but was cut short by clouds.

My humble optics38 viewsI travelled light -- only carrying the NexStar 5, a photo tripod and my Canon 300D for imaging. My power for operations (including the laptop PC) at the campsite/observing area was supplied by my Optima battery and my power control box.
