Description

I am still collecting as much Ha on deep sky objects as I can while I wait for light pollution levels to come down. Can't wait to try broadband again. I found that 1 minute exposures in Ha at Gain 139 / Offset 21 seems to be the sweet spot for capturing this nebula without blowing out the core.
