Fast F4, Four Hour Imaging Redemption WR134 (Feat. Askar 103 APO)

Last year WR134 was a chalIenge target for me and I failed to capture my target properly. It was a case of too much focal length and not enough time. So I patiently waited until I got another chance to shoot WR134 and here we are 1 year later and I still don't have enough time! LOL
Tonight I shoot with the Askar 103, a fast imaging refractor capable of gathering data at a speedy F4! This year, I am determined to recapture my challenge target from last year with better framing and in higher resolution.
I wasn't really satisfied with the data or framing I obtained last year. So, I decided to shoot in wide field and in 47 megapixels of resolution this time with the help of my ZWO 294MM Pro. However, there's a catch I only have 4 hours tonight before the clouds roll in for weeks!
In this video, I explore the idea of shooting at twice the speed to maximize my time and capture this dim and elusive target. Did I also mention tonight is my anniversary in the hobby?
