SH2-86 & NGC6823

Canoe Creek State Park, Hollidaysburg, PA USA

Target: SH2-86 (nebula) & NGC6823 (open cluster)
Imaging Scope: Stellarvue SV66ED w/WO 0.8x Reducer/flattener @ f/4.6
Mount: Orion Atlas EQ-G (EQMOD)
Imager: SBIG ST-2000XM
Guiding: PHD guiding using Meade DSI Pro through a Meade 60mm f/11 scope (1 second guide exposures)
Software: acquisition - MaxIm DL, post processing - CCDSoft, AstroArt & Adobe Photoshop
Exposure Information: 15 x 5 minutes (Astronomik 14nm Ha Filter), Flat fields and dark frames applied.
Comments: A little bit on the windy side early. Perform DDP in AstroArt. This object is pretty dim and needs a ton more of exposure time to do it justice. It's still quite noisy. Almost full moon.
