Description

This is the second of three images I did on my recent "speed run". I was only able to get 3.5 hours in total as poorly timed clouds interfered with imaging on the other nights I did my speed run. For an object like this, that may be plenty for those who live under dark skies, but mine could hardly be more light-polluted. As such, I think it would have really benefited from more data. I definitely want to do this one again with the monochrome camera and the refractor next summer - the wider field of view would show off the darker nebula much better.
