Description

First .... I finished generating and uploading all of my images and write-ups onto my new website (menardastrophotography.com). Unlike many astrophotography websites, my main focus is on telling the story behind each object rather than describing how I took the image. I wanted to make this website interesting for both imagers as well as astronomy enthusiasts.  Please check it out!

Due to early clouds, I imaged the planetary nebula Sharpless 188 (Sh2-188) over two nights. 

Sh2-188 is a planetary nebula in Cassiopeia about 850 light years away.
