Description

Reminscent of the famous Biblical story, here we see a giant wave of Ha in Pyxis, rolling back to reveal the vast depths of space behind.

A rarely imaged target, it's fun to play "spot the tiny galaxies here" I found at least 12

Taken using Voyager from my buddy's property in rural Victoria, Australia.
Ha taken from my light polluted suburban backyard in Melbourne.

Was a joy to image the dark sky data as Voyager seamless & perfectly imaged through various filters, solving & focussing when necessary, flipping as required and yielding wonderful data.
