I decided to add more time to this wonderful object in our night sky. This has been a passion project for me now and now at 50 hours of NB data. Imaged mostly last year and a few sessions this year.

I imaged it using my skywatcher 200P with an attached Starizona .75 reducer and 533MMPro with Altair 3nm SHO filters. All this resting on my AM5 mount.

I processed it in Pixinsight and used some of Russ Cromin’s tools and finished it off a little in Photoshop.

I’ve attached a screen grab showing subs etc from my logbook entry.

Hope you enjoy this one.
