Description

Here's Sharpless 2-240, the Spaghetti Nebula in Taurus. I thought I would need to add a lot more time to get a decent image, but the six hours seems pretty good. Will have to now wait for clear skies and not much Moon to gather OIII. The current forecast is not encouraging [early Jan 2024].
