Description

This is a 4-panel narrowband mosaic of LDN889 in Cygnus, taken at TriStar Observatory from 2018-08-12 to 2018-09-21.

Frankly, I'd hoped to get more data on this one (especially OIII...signal is weak here, and I'm convinced my Atik is weak in that band as well) but a late August 2-week run of cloudy weather, and then another one settling on us this weekend forced my hand a bit. The target's available for < 4 hours a night now as it is.

That not withstanding, I'm really rather chuffed by the outcome here. Spent less time bashing my head in over this one than usual before coming up with a result that I was pleased with.
