Description

Finally had a chance to image this object with 3nm narrowband filters. I am planning on experimenting with longer individual exposures, maybe 10 minutes instead of 5, next time to increase SNR but this end result is head and shoulders above my initial attempt last year with the Hyperstar. Still some work to do to tease the dark dust clouds out but they are almost there, and wanted to make sure to show how the stars on the lower half of the image are dimmed by some of the dust as well. Capture dates: 5/9, 5/11, 5/12, 5/13, 5/20, 5/21, 5/22 2020
