This is what happens when you have great equipment in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
My regards, Roland.

Rolando,

Very nice piece of work!

This particular DSO is very colourful ... please do consider getting LRGB data. wink

Oh yeah, also be on the lookout for the small piece of reflection nebulosity to the south of the "cave" itself (aka vdB 155).

Anthony.
