Description

This is my version of Pickering's Triangle, or probably more aptly entitled Williamina Fleming's Triangle (NGC6979) located between the Eastern and Western Veil Nebulae.

I decided that the clear skies of the last couple of weeks had to be utilised despite there being no astro dark and a full moon through the period of imaging. Quite patiently for me, this is a combination of 55 x 15 mins H, 53 x 15 mins O111 and 49 x 15 mins S11 all taken with my 152/1200 and SXVR-H694 as a 1x2 mosaic. I have gotten less precious at rejecting poor frames and I actually rejected a further 28.
