Description

I decided to try to image a not as popular target this fall and see how many hours I could get. I was able to manage nearly 40 hours of total exposure, the most I have done yet, and quite a challenge where I live. This target is extremely cool and unique to me as the signal was very weak, especially in Oiii and Sii. I am very happy with the result. Not to mention how cool the nebula is given one side is Ha dominant, and the other side is Oiii dominant.
