Description

Taken over full moon between 13-16th July, i could probably have chosen a brighter target, but i wanted to have ago with this one. This is an HOO representation of 109x300" Ha and 90x300" Oiii.

SH2-91 is approx 2500LY from Earth and though approx the same size as the Veil Nebula, is a lot fainter. This view is just a part of a much wider and more complex structure (see here  - https://www.astrobin.com/x27ohw/F/?q=sh2-91 ) and since I am working at 650mm focal length in Pixelskies so i want to try and attempt this with my home based widefield setup when dark returns. I am definitely going to add rgb stars when the opportunity arises.

Thanks for looking
