Description

The first of four targets I had hoped to image at my first star party (Eldorado Star Party 2021). I wanted to do a SHO image of Flaming Star, but unfortunately, we experienced a lot of clouds/rain during the week and my imaging plan had to change.  So I managed to only get a couple hours on this target before the clouds started rolling in.  With some Ha and even less OIII, I decided to make an HOO image...which of course turned out mostly red due to the strong Ha and very weak OIII signal.
