Description

Having a short period of clear skies, decided to capture the Twiddlebug in Ha (latter to combine with RGB) and then got rained out - fortunately was able to get my equipment back inside before the hard rain started.

The nebula - at 5900 LY - is a HII Ionized region in the constellation of Sagittarius which is situated close to the celestial equator allowing it to be partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.  It is overhead for us at around 20h00 at this time of the year.

I thought would post this as unsure when we will get another few hours of clear skies for the addition of RGB.
