Description

After capturing this target with my 8" f/10 a few week ago, I have returned to it with my wider-field scope (4" f/7) - partly out of laziness, as it crosses the meridian at around 10.30PM, so I can go to bed and let the scope capture all night...

However I think it turned out to be an excellent choice, as the wider FOV allows framing quite a few elements that contrast with the gaseus pillars of creation on the right side of the frame.



This is a tight crop of the full frame, which I might post later.
