Description

Since the weather has been dismal for imaging the last several months, I have been reprocessing older images from a few years back. This data was taken back in 2017 at Ft.

I was able to capture the IFN(Integrated Flux Nebula) which gives the image a "cloudy" appearance. The IFN surrounds most of this field of view.

I was also fortunate to capture the SN 2017eaw event within "The Fireworks Galaxy". I will post a cropped and annotated version of the supernova....
