This amorphous blob of luminosity with just a few seconds of centering acquisiton appears rather uninspiring. After 9, fifteen-minute subframes ( two hours, fifteen minutes) with H-a, a number of interesting dust lanes and surrounding structures become evident.

Dennis,
You got a great shot at this object. Congrats!

When I did this object, I got the amorphous blob.
