Description

The Eight-Burst Nebula
It has been a glorious night at Tivoli yesterday.
When I started the best frames had a FWHM of 0.8" and then went a little bit up to 1"
As we are approaching full moon I just play around and try to chose bright targets.
The image is a SHO with only 35min. of each filter, I know this is pretty short but I don´t want to challenge my fortune on this as even the difference between a frame with 0.8" and one with 1" is very visible.
Actually I would have drizzled the image but 5 subs is just not enough, so I upsampled it by 2  for display.
Hope you like it.
Wolfgang
