Description

Narrow-band H-alpha image taken from light-polluted Los Angeles with a full Moon. 7510 is the open cluster at upper right. Sh2-157 is the large area of nebulosity. LBN 537 is the bright knot of nebulosity. North is up and east is right. Warm, dry, pleasant night, good seeing and transparency, and all of the equipment was working! Should probably increase the frame time to 20-30 minutes. I hope to capture some more frames throughout the week. These are the shortest nights of the year and astronomical dawn came up fast!
