Description

With the Moon almost full, imaging galaxies will have to hold off for a bit. In the mean time, using the IDAS LPS V4 filter to only capture near-narrowband wavelengths of Ha and OIII light, I imaged the Orion Nebula. This is a collection of only 30x1 minute exposures, as it was very cold and I wasn't too crazy about setting up guiding, so all the subs were unguided. I'm pretty happy for only 30 minutes of exposure time!
