Description

This planetary nebula is large, so I jumped at the chance to capture it with my widefield configuration. I knew I was in for a challenging time when I started imaging this object - it is very faint and barely shows up even in my 10 minute narrowband subs. This image is 30 hours of integration time and I think I probably need to double it. It's much too noisy for my taste, but I needed to really stretch the data since the object is so faint. I would call this a work in progress, but it's gone for the season so this is the best I'm going to get for now.
