Description

I love this target, and I am so glad I found it. I dedicated a lot of exposure time to it (over 30 hours!) to bring out the faint nebulosity amidst my Bortle 8-9 light pollution. The Oxygen-III, in particular, is disturbingly weak. I really wondered in looking at the subs if I was capturing any!!! But sure enough, look at that beautiful blue!

SH2-119 is often passed over for Pelican/North American (it's so close), which I get, but if you love beautiful nebulas, spend some time framing this one up! even if all you do is Hydrogen-alpha, it will be worth it!
