Description

This has been a huge undertaking for me - almost three months of imaging. I have never worked on a mosaic with this much integration time before and it was challenging! The nebulosity in the Spaghetti Nebula is really faint and I ended up taking 1200 second exposures with my Epsilon a f/3.3. Even with such long exposures, getting detail from the Oiii was tough. I am amazed at the amount of detail in the filaments of H-alpha that came through with this image. It really helps when imaging from a Bortle 1 dark site!!
