Description

I had never tried NGC1579 before and was able to acquire about 7 hours of RGBL and 3.3 hours of Ha last month. The dark cloud which subdues the nebula requires a moonless time to record especially from urban skies. With luck this month and can add lots more luminance. NGC1579 is often called the northern Trifid nebula.
