Description

Sh2-134 and 135 are rather rarely imaged Ha regions close to the extensively imaged Elephant Trunk Nebula. A very busy area, especially when going deep with the RASA8, with an almost overwhelming number of LDNs and LBNs from Lynds' catalogues.

This is 8.8 hours of HaOiii data (NBZ filter) combined with about 4 hours of RGB data collected back in  january 2021. The NB data makes up ca 70 % of the signal and brought out much more of the faint stuff.
