Description

This one was tricky, since the nebula doesn't rise very high above the obstructions of my local horizon even from my rooftop. Got about 2 hours of data and was happy to get even that much. Shot through heavy LP with medium-high ambient humidity and a rather wide bandpass duo-narrowband filter, it's noisier than I would have liked. Still, glad to have caught it - it was on my wish list for a long time.

Data from 2024-03-07.
