Description

When I went outside I planned on imaging IC 405 the Flaming Star Nebula with my Orion 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph.  
However IC 405 had not risen above the tree line yet.  So I quickly looked around for another target and I wanted
something as far away from the Moon as I could get.  I chose IC 1848 the Soul Nebula.  This is a relatively large
object and I wasn't sure if I could get the entire nebula in my field of view. As it turned out I didn't get the
entire nebula in my field of view and probably couldn't have even if I could have seen it to frame it.  But with 
all of that said I'm not unhappy with the image. The nebulosity that I did capture is interesting.
