Description

NGC 5979 is a Planetary Nebula in the Triangulum Australe constellation.  It seems to be rarely imaged and is only 7.8 arcseconds in size, hence the 3000mm FL used to capture it.
I used short subs as guiding wasn't going well that night and seeing was fluctuating from good to very poor so I captured roughly 1000subs and culled to best ones.
