Description

5 panel mosaic taken through smoky skies over 4 nights.- out of what seems like an endless  summer monsoon season. -- but still thankful for the rain!

H00 mapped color, with Ha (5nm) Oiii(3nm) astrodon filters.

SH2-129 Bat Nebula (ha emission nebula) with faint OIII outrush area-- Squid Nebula from the Massive triple HR8119 star system. The Squid was first discovered by amateur astronomer Nicolas Outhers in 2011.  I  wouldn't not have noticed the OIII area without the  use of an OIII narrow band filter.
