Description

This is a large, faint, hydrogen emission nebula in the constellation Lacerta, about 1200 light-years from Earth. This is my 2nd attempt at it - I imaged it last year but didn't have enough exposure time on it to bring out the signal strongly enough. This year, getting almost 10 hours on it really made a difference.

It's the first time I've used the Rokinon lens with the ASI2600MC Pro (instead of the Canon EOS Ra). I'm really happy about being able to attach a filter drawer, since I didn't have a good solution for that with the Ra.
