Description



This was a pretty bright target, and I had good signal from each NB filter.

Sulphur showed what I thought at first was some strange blotches outside the main structure. Same stuff is there in Ha, too, to a lesser degree. Turns out to be faint nebulosity, especially on the right side.

I cranked up the saturation to bring out the faint stuff, and make the main nebula pop. Too much?

My mini pc that rides on the scope and runs everything died during this imaging, too. It was the last night of imaging, and quit with about 2 hours left before sunrise. Luckily I had most of what I needed, and I save my frames to a USB drive which remained ok.
