Description

The shark nebula is not not very bright and this required a lot of integration time to overcome the light pollution. This is my longest integration to date. The nebula is completely invisible in a single sub exposure and even after stacking was barely there before background extraction and noise reduction. Overall a very challenging target from Bortle 6
