Description

This was a really fun image to capture. I first tried capturing it with about 3 hours of SHO one night in November and that gave me an insight into how much data I would need. I got some really nice detail and colour in that image but I just couldn't pull the brightness that I wanted out of it. I stayed away from it for a few nights, focusing on other targets while it rose higher in the sky, and eventually came back to it the night of the world cup final! I managed to get 5 hours on it that night which was really awesome. I only stopped because it went behind the house! I really love the colour that I have got in the image and am loving learning to use SHO more! I think I have captured the depth in the image a lot better than my previous attempt at the target earlier in the year.
