Not Ready for Primetime Stars
Sharpless 2-114 Nebula in Cygnus
Also known as the 'Flying Dragon Nebula'. This faint nebula was especially challenging for me this night due to some clouds (basically 'sucker hole imaging') and wind. The sky became mostly cloudy around 3AM, so I stowed my gear. It started raining lightly around 5AM, and snowed later in the morning. Sh 2-113 is the bright knot at bottom center.
Details: Televue NP127is f5.2 refractor at f4.2 with TV focal reducer; Atik 383L+ at -18 deg C; Orion EQ-G mount;TS OAG; Astrodon 3nm Ha filter. 10x20 min 3nm Ha. Total exposure 3h20min. Taken at Grandview September 2014. Thanks for stopping by!
