Description

An emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus, about 1,000 light years from us. Huge in the night sky, but very dim. 

I was able to capture this image with just under 1.5 hours of total integration (52 stacked 100 second exposures) through my Askar FRA400mm telescope on my EQR-35 Pro mount. 

Will be going back to this target in the future to add depth and clarity! Perhaps also with a wider field of view. Love the color!
