Description

It was a dream target for me for last 2 years, until i got the chance to shoot the Shark Nebula in darkest site of our country Pakistan, near Bela Balochistan  at Taqwa Observatory, under bortle 1 skies. It took me two nights to complete LRGB data on November 27th, 2022 and November 28th 2022 because object was setting down early. Long exposures, high gain, was the call of night because i could not see a hint of nebula in my subs, but after first night i stacked Luminance data and got comfortable once it popped up loudly.
