NGC2070 2 Fields of View

 Taken 31st October 2017 with Canon 30D (Modified) Skywatcher 6 Inch (150mm) Matsukov.  5 X 2 minute frames stacked with flats and bias frames and processed and enhanced in Nebulosity and Photoshop.

For comparison below taken in July 2017 a wider field of view taken witha Canon 450D and Skywatcher ED80.  The 1800mm focal length of the 150mm Matsukov provides greater power with a wider aperture and subsequent magnification when compared to the 80mm Refractor with a 600mm focal length.  Basically 3x the magnification and almost double the light collecting ability.
