Description

For years I have avoided this target thinking it was uninteresting but I noticed a couple of images which showed some accompanying Ha and O3 so I gave it a try.  The O3 showed up but over 7 hours of exposure yielded no perceptible Ha.  I am shooting from Bortle 5-6 skies which is not great for catching the Ha.  I may try some 20 minute  subs to see if I can find some but for now the O3 will have to do.
