Description

After an easy and spectacular image of SH2-279 in Orion, I was looking for a challenge and this is one. I can generally get one really good imaging session in with the Celestron AVX, as long as the tracking is still on target, and the scope is not too perpendicular. This one was pushing the limits and eventually the auto-guider gave me an error, so I cut it short at 16 light frames. (ISO 800, 10 darks, no flats, no bias).
