Description

I read about this image in Astronomy Now, and thought it would be interesting to see if I could capture it. Images taken in September 2020 from Cherry Springs. It is 36 x 300 second subs at high gain with duo narrowband filter and 2X PowerMate. Focusing, especially through the OAG, was challenging.

I could definitely do better next time at the same or greater exposure time and lower gain, without the PowerMate and maybe with some binning.
