Description

Technically this dark nebula is called “The Helping Hand” but from the moment I saw it, it reminded me of a snail so I’m calling it the Cosmic Snail Nebula.I captured this one over 3 moonless nights and even with 19.5h of data it gave me a terrible time to process. My skies are bortle 5 but all my light pollution is to the north which makes the northern dark nebulae tricky to image for me.
