Lunar and Deep Sky Imaging Session - February 25, 2026

The sky this evening is clear and I use my Dwarf 3 Smart Scope at Astro Mode with VIS Filter and AZ Mode to capture the Quarter Moon as well as IC2169 Dreyer's Nebula in Monoceros using Dwarf 3 at Astro Mode and Astro Filter at EQ Mode. Stack of 240 images at 30 sec exposure and Gain 60. I also use my ZWO ASI294 MC Pro Camera on Borg 76ED Refractor with 1x Flattener and SVBony SV220 7nm Duo Filter to capture SH2-284 Portal Nebula in Monoceros. Total exposure of 158 minutes (79 x 120 sec) at -5 deg C .
