Image Description and Details : First "official" photo of our team Team Stellae Orientis Astrophotographie with the Perseus molecular cloud in LRGB by Yann SAINTY.

The Perseus molecular cloud contains the nebulae NGC1333 and IC348.

First lights on the fsq106 and the 2600MM and the result is up to my expectations. Combined with a bortle 4 sky this setup promises beautiful moments.

No moon so I wanted to image NGC1333 but seeing the beauty of IC348 next to it I could not resist the appeal of the mosaic despite the fact that it was not recommended during a first session with a new setup.

I imaged over 2 nights instead of 4 (lots of humidity and fog), which frustrates me in the sense that I only got half of the raws I wanted and so I had to shoot more processing. as desired, but you have to know how to have fun and try things!
