Description

This is my first attempt in this area of the night sky. The final image has many problems, I know, but I wanted to try to get something out of the eight hours and 100 exposures I took. The data was captured with an Askar 103 APO with O.8X reducer (effective aperture of  f/5.4). The information was weak after stacking and the framing was a bit off since I could not see the nebulosity during the capture. I worked hard on stretching the data but it came out okay, I think. I will try to shoot this object again in a little over a week from now but will be using the 0.6X reducer, giving me an effective aperture of f/4. This will let in much more light and, weather permitting, I hope to image it for two nights--about 14 hours total.
