Description

Taken from the Los Coloraos observatory in Gorafe, Spain over three nights.
The LRGB images are really too little for this target but due to bad weather and the full Moon, I resorted to capturing most of the data in Ha.

I plan to revisit this target with a dew shield around the front of the telescope to limit the huge reflection from Gamma Cas in the top right. I must admit I quite like the rays of light in the image, it reminds me of how bright the star is that is exciting the clouds of the nearby nebula.

Thanks for looking!
