Description

Captured using a 16 inch Boller and Chivens telescope (7400mm FL) coupled with an SBIG Aluma 694 CCD camera. 0.126 arc seconds per pixels. Only 1.5 hours of data using RGB, H-alpha, NII and OIII filters. The Ha and NII were combined with the red channel. The OIII was combined in both the green and blue channels. This is one of the faintest Messier objects. More data is needed to show the extremities but was an experiment to see how well the 16 inch could capture it. Good seeing is of the upmost importance at this image scale.
