Description

Shot around the middle of last summer at a mere 447 focal length on an 81 mm APO refractor, I thought this image came out well, though it needs more signal.  If we ever get a few days of clear weather, I'll train a larger aperture SCT on it and give it a couple days and see if I can pull out some of the faint blue halo that surrounds this lovely nebula.
