RE: [APML] NGC7000 with a false comet !

Thanks John :)

 

The lack of density along the left edge is du to my roll that fell infront the holder because my setting is like this http://www.robertreeves.com/homeroll.jpg but I dont have the supports for the 2 rolls :( I'll have to find a way to avoid this problem without drilling in the holder because it's not my schmidt-camera.

 

It's the first time I see this unusual reflection but I like it for this time ;)

 

Clear skies !

 

Dom :)
