Description

Taken from a Bortle 4 zone using my AT60ED and 0.8x Reducer with a crop-sensor DSLR so I was able to get a really wide field view of the nebula of names.

It was low to the horizon when I started imaging and only had 2 hours before the bright moon came out. I could have gone longer but the fog drove me away.

I realized an hour in that I shouldn't have used the L-eNhance filter because I was in Bortle 4 skies AND it was darker where this nebula was. So I need to redo this without the filter.
