Description

SH2-86 or NGC6820 or what I call "the little elephant's trunk"😄. In the middle resides the open star cluster NGC6823. It's not shown very often, so I wanted to change that. Here I did something that I don't normally do. I needed a second night with the dual filter, because the signal is very weak. As usual a mix of RGB(OSC) and HOO.
