Description

Let's face it this winter has been brutal on most of us. My imaging nights have been weeks if not months apart so when a clear night comes up better take advantage of the opportunity. The season is already on the wane for this beautiful Nebula. I had hoped to get at least 25 exposures for this over a 2 night period. The best laid plans yep... Clouds tonight so here it is as a work in progress till next time (read year...lol)

I used my trusty Stellarvue SV80ED and modded T5i here with an AstroTech AT2FF. 6 - 600 seconds lights 20 darks, 20 flats, 20 darks flats. Stacked Median and mosaic method in DSS then saved as a tiff and edited in Camera RAW.

Let me know your thoughts on the final outcome here for now. Be well and think spring!
