Description

This image is the sum of 567 60 secs unguided subs taken during the night of the 29th of October 2022 from my bortle 8 sky home terrace. Equipment list above.
It was a great night. Dry, no wind and moon almost absent.
Aquisition, stacking and processing with Astroart 8 (gradient removal, DDP, deconvultion, low pass). No darks. Only 3 flats.

I have tried to involve my 12 years old son, but he was too busy playing FIFA at playstation. But next image he promised me a better attention.

NGC 1491 is a bright nebula in the constellation of Perseus. It is also known as LBN 704. It is also called the "fossil footprint" nebula.
Honestly I don't understand why.

Thanks for looking
