Description

An emission nebula in Cygnus, formed by ejected gas from Wolf-Rayet-Star WR 136. The gas is heated by shock waves. It was the first time that I used Voyager to automatically shoot flats in dusk and dawn with a self-made script. It worked flawlessly on the second night, in the first night fixing took to much time so I switched back to SGP.
