Description

Horse head Nebula shot in Ha only. This is 15 frames 2 min ea.

I had set up for 60 frames at about midnight. Climbed into my sleeping bag at set an alarm on my phone. (I was cold so I wanted to be warm, it was about 20 deg f) when the aiarm went off I went out to check... My computer lap top had closed putting itself to sleep stopping my programs! (I had the screen partially closed because it was bright) I only had 15 frames. It was after 2am and it was cold. gave up and went to sleep. This was first time for me actually trying to image this target. I learned I need to change my lap top setting! so it won't go to sleep if top closes. I am also thinking about SGP.
