Description

Hind's Variable Nebula - Widefield shot with FSQ-106. There are a couple of interesting small, red nebulous areas that I'd love to see with a larger instrument. There's also a curious band of color crossing the lower 3rd of the image that I thought was an artifact of acquisition, calibration or processing. After numerous tests and processing techniques I'm convinced this is part of the real image...future processing may tell a different story...
