Description

Last year, I imaged this same target in Cepheus with a modified DSLR and it was that result that really compelled me to finally commit to mono imaging in order to really open up narrowband targets. Considering that the OIII signal (Ou-4) was only discovered by Nicolas Outters in 2011, the Flying Bat (Sh2-129) has become a much more interesting target. Located approximately 2,300 ly from Earth, evidence suggests that Ou-4 is indeed embedded in the Ha-rich Sh2-129 background.
