Description

I continue my exploration of the nebulosity in Cygnus with my Redcat 51 and Duo Narrowband Filter

Initially I felt slightly sorry for the brightest bit of nebulosity as it didn't seem to have a name, although it is a big almost as the crescent . I now discover it called the Tulip nebula

Tried hard to pull out the nebulosity ... quite noisy .. was warm last night

Hilarious gaff at start of session ... forgot to add counter weight to set up

Guiding was really bad ... once fixed it was just bad but luckily focal length of Redcat very forgiving
