An astrophotography nightmare. No... I am not talking about weeks of clouds or loosing polar aligment during a session... the witch... the witch nebula... we know her, beautiful, ugly, mysterious. I made a small horror video about the Witch Nebula that I think the community might find interesting.... and a bit scary. https://youtu.be/JVtmfY6ov7I




 I used my Redcat 51 scope, ZWO ASI 294MC camera to capture the main image of the video. It was guided by the Skywatcher EQ6-r Pro mount. Total Integration: 7 hours
