M56 (April 2019)

This image is 48x240" with the SXVF-H9 through an Astronomik CLS filter and the 203mm f/4.95 Synta-ONTC Newtonian. On a couple of imaging nights at 4 am, I needed just one more interesting target to call it a night, and here was M56 hanging over the trees.  With exposures of only 4 minutes each (to avoid over-exposing the stars), I could collect many exposures very quickly.  Here's the monochrome result.
