Description

I'd normally prefer to image this target at a longer focal length but due to the constant winds here in the desert that's not very easy from my backyard. Especially with my newt! But I thought it might be good as a widefield target as well plus it could be the first panel of a mosaic of the Sadr region that I've been thinking of trying this summer.
  This target took quite a few nights of imaging since it didn't clear the neighbor's tree till after 2 am the first week. I concentrated mostly on shooting Oiii but switched to Ha whenever the moon was out. I also shot some Sii data but didn't like any of the palettes incorporating it so I ended up sticking with a HOO palette with RGB stars blended in. I may revisit this in the near future though and try blending some palettes.
