SH2-206 Called the Fossil Footprint Nebula

[Comet Hunter]

Being a refractor guy, I was surprised and pleased a 35 year old+ used 8" Celestron SCT could capture this little nebula so well. SH2-206, 2600mc, L-Extreme, RQ6R pro,
(115) 300 sec light frames captured last night. Just for fun I think I will retake with my Stellarview tonight just to get a comparison with all else the same.

That's some awesome work Ed! That is a really tiny nebula, and most images don't have this much detail. I really like what you got here.

Do you have an EAF on this 8"?

I still want to get an 8" HD Edge one day.

I do have an EAF and considering a starzonia reducer after all, i've read with one, makes the older sct optical quality on par to the HD

Fun image, will have to try that with my SCT someday.
