Description

While waiting for the Helix Nebula to rise enough to image, I took this last night.  IC1340, the Bat Nebula.

I've been avoiding the Veil because my C8 focal length can't really get it in view (I need to try some mosaics, but I think I'm not ready yet.)

At any rate, this piece of the Gamma Cygni supernova remanent is still pretty to look at.

And the Helix nebula?  Total bust -- could not get guiding to work on that target (not enough right stars I think).  But this kept the night from being a bust.
