Description

Last week, I had two days without clouds and rain! First time in two months. Seeing was great, but the moon was full, so bright planetary nebula were the subjects for most of both evenings.

Here is a pretty decent look of this planetary nebula. I only was able to capture 2 images before it went behind my house the first night, but was able to get 4 more the next night, which was plenty of data to stack and produce a good image. Each of the six 5 minute exposures is 300 x 1 second images live-stacked in SharpCap. I noticed some problems with star shapes in the lower right corner of my images. I need to debug this issue the next night out (maybe tomorrow night!)
