Description

I recently hypertuned my mount. I tore apart my whole mount, replaced all the bearings, cleaned it out, greased it up and reassembled it. This is my first project since then. It is a very faint emission nebula called Sharpless2-155 or the Cave nebula. It requires capturing a lot of data, this is 16 hours but it could probably use more. It required every trick I know in processing to bring out all the faint detail. This nebula is being created by the solar winds of the large star just to the right of the nebula.
