NGC 2467 - Skull and Crossbones Nebula
Yesterday, I attempted to capture this nebula from my balcony. Photographing it is quite challenging from my location. As a general rule, for good-quality images, objects should ideally be above 15º. However, this nebula is very close to the horizon, reaching only 30º at its highest point.
Additionally, in areas with high light pollution—such as my location in Tel Aviv (Bortle 9)—it’s best to target objects that are as high in the sky as possible. Another complication was that most of last night was cloudy, which I only realized when I woke up.
This image is the result of just 25 exposures, each 5 minutes long. Compared to my previous images, this one isn’t my best. However, I will not shoot this object in the future.
