Description

Well this was a battle. At the beginning of the night when the nebula was in the worse position to be imaged, low down and in the area of greater light pollution, the conditions were reasonable for here. So I decided to try and image 120 subs, at 3 minutes long each. But then the wind started to blow, right when it moved into my best imaging area! By the next morning the number of subs had dropped to 75 and that included some I would not normally have used, but I needed them. Anyway, all things considered I am happy with the picture, having used my large reflector and my duo-narrowband filter. Imaging time was 3 hours and 45 minutes. Have a good night everyone...
