Description

Just a deeper B/W image of the Dark Shark Nebula. Its circumpolar for my site, so its a nice target to accumulate imaging time in spring. I dont have RGB Filters, and narrowband filters are unsuitable for a reflection nebula, so I just used the luminosity filter to collect light with my E130.

There is more nebulosity in the area, could be interesting to make a mosaic up to Polaris, but it would take a lot of time.

I could also be nice to substract the stars from the image. Unfortunatelly I dont have the software to do that.
