Description

I've spent some time recently, getting to grips with Pixinsight and processing data from over the winter. Whenever I get the chance to image dark nebulae from my back garden, when there's no moon, I grab as many hours as I can. This project started off as a two panel mosaic but I only managed to get (just) enough data on the first panel. This area of dust, in the vicinity of The Pleiades is characterised by the aptly named Baby Eagle nebula, designated as LBN 777. As well as all the dust there are several small galaxies visible.
