Description

LDN 43 is a relatively infrequently imaged target. After I first saw some images appear on Astrobin, I was fascinated by it's uncanny likeness to a flying bat (hence the name). It became a "must do" target the next time it rolled around into our Southern skies.
I was quite pleased with the fov provided by the combination of the Esprit 120 and the ASI2600mmPro as I wanted to also capture some of the surrounding dust.

Edit: Added another approx 10 hours  of luminance to the original.
