Description

NGC1788, also known as the Cosmic Bat, is a reflection nebula in the Orion constellation. The area is roughly 1,300 light years away.  It is associated with the adjacent dark nebula Lynds 1616.

The weather has not been cooperating in California. High sirrus clouds have been relentless and consequently I had to discard about 2/3 of my data.  I gave up on collecting more data once the computer that is mounted on the rig failed due to a corrupted file caused by a windows update. Very frustrating. 

I would have liked to have had more luminance data in particular, but I was reasonably happy with first run at processing and I do not know how long the system will be down.  So, here it is.
