Description

First light with the ASI2600MC Pro and the L-eNhance dual band filter. Image is from my Bortle 6 backyard and was taken over 2 night (3/8-3/9). I have a lot more data to work with over the course of an unusual week of March clear skies in SW Ohio. But this is nearly 3 hours exposure time and I'm pretty happy with the result. I will attempt to process some of the additional data as well. This is the first serious deep sky project for me in 15 years. It feels great to be back on the AP learning curve again ; > ) This is a really neat target which I've under appreciated over the years. Note the panther, the dog and the ibex. I only recently learned of these interpretations of individual formations within this vast nebula complex.
