Description

I wasn't sure this target would rise high enough in my somewhat obscured southern sky, but I managed to get a few hours of it over two nights. This is more challenging to process than I thought when I first saw how strong the Oiii signal was here. There's a lot of Ha around this object that's very dim. It could use many more hours of Ha integration than I'd originally guessed (or had time to gather between cloudy nights).

It's a fun target, though, and I'm glad I finally got a chance to capture it.
