Description

Here's my HOO take on Sharpless 2-240, the Spaghetti Nebula in Taurus; I was able to gather just under 9 hours of OIII last session, to add to the Ha image recently posted. The histogram on this version became skewed as I worked to bring out that OIII structure . I probably would be better served to gather more OIII, but there are other SNR targets in Cassiopeia that are fast disappearing this season, and I want to spend time on them.
