Description

This one is always a difficult one for me to catch due to the incredible amount of light pollution at home, exacerbated by the typical high-humidity of the Southeast states of the US. This makes these thin, delicate wisps of reflection in the Merope nebula incredibly arduous to bring out to any great detail. At least magnitude 17.8 UGC2838 can be seen in this iteration. All that can be done here is to add to it every year. So, after every imaging season (September - April) this will only grow in quality.
