Exposure/
Filters:
R: 9 x 180 seconds,
G: 5 x 180 seconds,

Camera: Moravian G3-16200 with Astronomik Type II-filters
Optics/
Instrument:
250mm f/4,7 Newton with VIP-3010 Paracorr on 10Micron GM1000 HPS
Guiding: Lodestar attached to a 61mm-finder,

This is the result of the "first light"-frames after the replacement of the 2"-RCC1-corrector/QSI-combination by the 3"-Paracorr and the Moravian G3-16200.
For this image all nebulae (and the RBI-flash-artefacts) were subtracted from the RGB-image. Using Starnet++ starless versions were created from the Hα- and O3-stacks and the resulting image was integrated into the RGB-data.
