Description

The Monkey Head nebula. Unfortunately, the target was too close to the half moon and some stray light got into the frame. I also ran into problems with dew towards the end of the session, so I'm happy with how this turned out.

The image was later re-processed by adding about an hour of broadband data and combining that with a starless version of the original narrowband data.

Description: This version combines about an hour of broadband data with a starless version of the earlier narrowband data. The stars in this version have much more natural colours.
