Description

An LRGB image of the distinctively shaped nebula in Canis Major. I struggled with poor weather in February, leading to a long delay collecting the required green and blue data and a lot of lost frames.

Looking forward to having another go at this target in narrow-band when it comes around next year - hopefully with clearer skies!
