Description

Sharpless 2-284 is a Bright Nebula appearing in the constellation Monoceros. Also in the frame is Dolidze 25, a 7th magnitude Open Cluster about 22 thousand light years from our solar system.

I am still struggling to get a decent first image with my new StellaMira 90ED; even the 'clear' nights here in the UK are not clear. This image was taken over two nights with neither night offering 'good seeing' - more a case of 'acceptable seeing' - and having to make the most of small mercies as the next clear spell isn't even on the long range forecast.

Weather and conditions aside I am loving my new 90ED; it provides a perfect companion for my Samyang 135mm, my RedCat 250mm and now the SM90 at 540mm focal length.

Oh for a really clear night with no Moon!

CS everyone.

Description: Pulled back the 'red' content a little in the 'gold' regions and toned the whole image down a little as well.
