Description

Another new target. I "think" this one is called the Skull nebula? Can't see much resemblance... reminds me more of an amoeba or suchlike.

Taken over many nights lots of wispy cloud and poor seeing so not the greatest data. I did try a little SII, but zero there. Just 20min each of R, G and B for the stars.

Still enjoying the longer focal length of my Meade 12 and the new targets it brings within reach. 

Processed in APP,  STartools and PS.
