Description

I wanted to try this target before Christmas but I, and my whole family, ended up with Covid in December and I couldn't get around to it. This was one of my first targets of the New Year with the L-eNhanced filter that finally came in after my Heart Nebula project and before my Rosette. Essentially I was testing exposure times and my first two hours or so was with 3 minute long exposures and I felt the result was terrible. On a while, I got 40 more minutes on Jan. 30 at 4 min and it made a HUGE difference.
