Description

I took 30 subs of this object at 600s long each, in Ha, using my 8" reflector - a total integration time of 5 hours. I would have liked to have extended the length of the subs a little more, but it was a little on the windy side, and with the scope being the size it is, I may not have got away with it had I have done. I used my mono Atik 460EX and processed it through PixInsight. I hope to get the OIII data soon - but there is no reasonable forecast in the near future.
