Description

Nice zone in auriga, Artemis 4021 with H-alpha astronomik filter using a slightly stopped down 135 F2 nikkor Ais lens. no tracking 40x2 minutes added in astroart.

The circumstances were between average to completely awfull with high level clouds floating past.

At the same time I had my best seeing ever for jupiter on the c14 platform.

Note, I live in an area with sever light pollution, distant as was as direct light pollution from very nearby sources. I have a hell of a time getting rid of gradients and getting a good background is impossible as you can see. BUT I still like what I can achieve here, I never expected this kind of Ha clouds in auriga.
