Abell 71 from DSW and my own backyard
I have been subscribing to data from the Deep Sky West (DSW) Observatory for some time. DSW is located in New Mexico and offers several fully equipped systems. One of the data sets I received in 2018, was data from the emission nebula Sh2-115, which included the planetary nebula Abell 71, located in the constellation Cygnus.
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:

The images were taken with the following equipment:
- Location: Rodeo, New Mexico

- Focal ratio: 3.8
- Mount: Paramount ME
- Camera: SBIG STX 16803
