Description

This is my edit from a Collaboration of data acquisition under Bortle 1 skies at the Shurley Ranch in Marfa, Texas, November 2021, by Dawn Lowry, Gian Lorenzo Ferretti, Ewa Pasiak and Terry Felty.

We were faced with some challenges for guiding and some high clouds but were able to grab 6.6 hours of clean data.  I did have to scrap some frames for certain.

The dolphin nebula is so unique and striking. I had a edit challenge to get the Hydrogen alpha to come through under the very strong Oxygen signal. but i was able to bring it up.

Thank you for looking and Clear skies.
