      Description

      IC 4601 in Scorpius
      This one is from the last new moon period and although seeing has been a little bit unpredictable recently this was an exellent night.
      The nebula is a little bit like the Pleiades but with a nice yellow hue on the right side due to the reflection of HD146434.
      LRGB 180 45 45 45 min.
      I hope you enjoy it.
      Wolfgang
