Description

Here's the Batwing Nebula in Ha, shot over three nights while I was waiting for my preferred target to get into position. I am debating whether it's worth the time to try and find the squid in OIII with the fast Borg 55FL, or just accept there's too much light pollution from Louisville. I have imaged the Bat before, but this setup produced more detail, giving it a more bowl-like appearance; so maybe the squid would make a faint appearance?
