Description

Shot over 2 nights at UACNJ at Jenny Jump state forest.  I was able to frame this large nebula perfectly using my ASI2600MC pro with my Askar FRA400 telescope.  I used the Antlia  dual narrow band filter and subs at 3 minutes to be sure I had enough exposure.  Workup was easy since I had over 11 hours exposure total.  My Skywatcher HEQ5 mount was tracing well as always- 0.6 arc seconds.
