Description

I didn't intend on imaging this object when I went outside. I actually wanted to try imaging the Cat's Paw Nebula in Scorpius. However the Cat's Paw Nebula is very low in my sky and usually below some large trees in a tree line to the South. When I went outside it was not visible yet. I only have a short window of time when it is visible. The forecast last night was for cloudy skies.

I wasn't sure if the sky would remain clear or not. I didn't want to waste a clear sky waiting for the Cat's Paw to move above the tree line so I chose another target. The area around Sadr has become my go to target when I can't decide on what to image. I've haven't imaged this part of the sky with my Orion 6 Inch Newtonian Astrograph so I decided that this would be a good opportunity to do so.

Description: I wasn't completely satisfied with my image. I completely reprocessed the image to see if I could get some that I was more pleased with. The changes are pretty subtle.
