Description

With Luna screamingly bright, living in NB land for a while, and back to my favorite...Ha. Here's a section of the Pelican Nebula, those ripples that form its head, with the eye, the darker spot lower right. Interesting that this spot now reveals itself to have its own structure and not be monolithically opaque. This is only 2 hours of data. I think due to the homogeneity of clouds in this area, it may warrant more Ha. I wasn't able to start on the target until close to 01:00 when the sky had cleared. Since it's available as soon as it gets dark, I will probably return for additional data and SHO rendering.
