Description

the first clearish night in 6 weeks also around the full moon so looking for a narrowband target for the Meade 12 decided on the Pencil Nebula.

It's got some fairly intricate structure which I haven't really pulled out as well as I might as this is only 5 hours ...could probably do with 4x that, but with summer weather here being what it is I'll take what I can get :-)

stacked and initial process in APP and more fully processed in PS as starless before bringing the stars back in. also using some of the Astronomy Tools plugins like Enhance Deep Sky Object to reveal fainter structure and reduce stars.
