Description

I had been wanting to capture the Jellyfish Nebula since starting AP, but for one reason and another, it just hadn’t been possible. However, this month it all came together. Over four nights of changeable conditions I captured more than 30 hours of data, however with much of it spoiled by clouds I ended up with 25 hours of usable subs. With 20/20 hindsight I should have taken more Oiii during the first two nights to take advantage of the New Moon, but all things considered I am pleased with the result.  
I went for the classic SHO palette but have lost count of how many times I have processed the data before arriving at this version.

This such an incredible target, with so much going on:
