Description

Inspired by really beautiful pictures of Valentine's rose I decided to give it a try. This target is a very faint planetary nebula and it needs many...many hours, and I was not sure if  I would be so lucky with the weather. It is  visible all night in my location, but it is low, and with that comes some noise and guiding challenges. Nevertheless, and despite some clouds and haze towards the end I was able to integrate 17+ hours. Overall. I think this was worth trying. I like cosmic flowers, and this one is now a favorite.
