Description

With the bright moon hanging overhead, I stayed with narrowband and decided to go after the Owl nebula. I was surprised how strong Ha and OIII both were. I captured 10 hours of data, but this object was so bright, I probably didn't need to.

The star on the left that looks like it has jet steams shooting out the sides is a Pulsating Variable Star (HD 97302).
