Description

Jens Zippel recetly posted an amazing image of this nebula so when chosing a Ha object for the night while the moon is conspiring against astrophotography, I thought I would have a go at it. Little did I know how extremely faint this object is and I have never had to stretch an object so much. I obviously need much more data and mainly post it now for my record. Before the moon came up I managed to get 90 minutes of RGB and then I cought 260 minutes of Ha with my OSC, which is not ideal for weak Ha so I am glad I got something.

Due to the weak nebiulosity (and I did not want to make it artificially bright) this image looks best on a computer screen in a relatively dark room.
