Description

While attending the Nightfall star party in Borrego Springs, California, last November, I had two extra hours of imaging time to kill after my primary target had settled below desirable imaging altitude. I set my sights on the Cave Nebula and was able to collect about an hour and a half of data. I had forgotten about it until today, when I rediscovered it while reorganizing my astro files. I decided to process it, and here is the result. It definitely could have used more integration time.
