Description

This is my go at the Dolphin Head Nebula. This beautiful object rises to only 23° in the night sky at my location. Condition at this height aren't great. Nevertheless I decided to try it. 

Surprisingly I managed to squeeze some details out and the nebula is visible. Yes the image is a bit blurry and colors are washed out but all the major details from this region and nebula are in place.

I am happy with my result but I doubt that I will ever visit this object again.

Clear skies!
Ivan
