[Flying Bat Nebula SH2-129]

The far far far most difficult target I did. I collected 28.5 hours of data and couldn't collect the OIII data because I haven't got a filter for it. My good friend collect 8.5 hours of data in OIII for me.

After that I stacked my data and Andy send me the stacked OIII data. Then I tried to combine them both together.

Never did that before and oh my god it wasn't easy when you do it the first time.

It is far away from perfect now but I am for the first time happy with it what I did here.
