Description

This was a hard target.  I tried several different exposure lengths and integration times.  I finally settled on 120 seconds knowing that it "blows out" the bright start, but the increase in SNR of the nebula was worth it.   I may try again at 90 second exposures which reach 60,000 ADUs on the bright star so just under the clipping limit.
