Description

I plan on getting more time on this target to eventually get a good-looking Squid, but the weather is just not cooperating right now. I wanted to share this image to show the intense Ha region. I just love the depth and structure here. I removed the stars to further enhance the views of the nebulosity. Hope you enjoy.
