Description

It was a battle to get the data for this. I managed to image this over 3 nights, obtaining only 2 subs on the 2nd night, before the weather faded again! But, in total, I stacked 30 subs each at 5 minutes in length, using my 3" triplet, and modified Canon DSLR. I have always wanted to image these two together, and now I have. It is a difficult object from my location and latitude but I am really pleased with the result, especially as I managed to photograph some of the fainter nebulosity at the northern end of the 'lagoon'. I even got a small globular in the frame too - just about!
