Description

The Gecko Nebula is a molecular cloud complex located within the larger Ha emission nebula Sh2-126. It's very faint, so I was glad that the skies finally cleared up for several nights in a row to get a decent amount of integration time. It was probably the most difficult image I've processed yet. At some point, I'll probably go back and gather some L-extreme filter data to boost the Ha signal.
