Description

Taken on the night of Tuesday January 27th and the morning of Wednesday January 28th, this narrowband image of NGC 2359 is taken in 7nm Hydrogen Alpha under a first quarter moon. It was frigidly cold and clear with a slight ice haze, too cold to work outside. I retreated to my indoor computer and monitored the image process from the comfort of my finished basement using a USB2 to LAN switch.
