Description

This is likely my last narrowband nebula target for a while. By March new moon, my attention will turn to the myriad of targets in galaxy season. Thor's Helmet is low in the South, even at my latitude in Northern Arizona. With less than average seeing, my EQ8-R mount carrying a 10" newt struggled to guide well. Oh well. I'll take what I can get for now. The bright moon now puts me on an astrophotography hiatus. (Note that OIII data was from one year ago.)

I'm anxious to see what the QHY 268C color cam and 10" newt will do with all those galaxies in Springtime!
