Description

The region around the Cone Nebula in Ha; the Hubble Variable Nebula is visible to the upper right. I think this is just about enough Ha. Planning to do a full tricolor -- the OIII and SII will require a pretty good bit of data, as they do not look particularly bright; will have to wait until next month, though. But quite happy with how this channel came out!
