Description

This is one of my favorite nebula period, and the first time I've shot it with my ccd camera. Unfortunately, right after this shot the skies went crazy with bad weather and the winter hit record lows, and it seemed that every clear night that wasn't -10 degrees outside I was busy. So I never got to add more date to this.

This target is on my must-do-no-matter-what list late this year, and I want to get more Ha data, as well as a slathering helping of some OIII data. I can't wait!
