Description

Well narrow band targets are back here in Leeds , even as nights are so short an astronomical darkness has departed

Took this over three nights in the last week or so, finished with the Sii last night

Framed on the centre of the nebula

A problem free capture process with my new rig and TS optics imaging star

Data was good so processing quite straight forward

Named after one my favourite of favourite Cocteau Twins records [Edit - renamed "Smaug" see revision note]

42 x 5 mins Ha, 36 x 5 mins Oiii 32 x 5 mins Sii = 9 hrs ten mins in total
