Here is an Image from earlier in the month Sh2-240 a Super Nova Remnant, this is a reasonably dim object spanning several degrees. The nebula on the left is Du-77 even dimmer than Sh2-240, and the surrounding area is filled with background Halpha emission and small structures. Imaging was done remote over two unusually transparent nights where Sky Quality measured 22+ mag/arc seconds, using the 3" F/4 astrograph. Attached image is a single frame approx 6.5 X 4.5 degrees.

Dave- You and your equipment are world beaters! Absolutely beautiful.Is that 3 inch astrograph a Perkin Elmer aerial camera lens? I think I have one buried someplace in my dungeon.

Nice processing, Dave! I made the same object one month ago with 8 inches f3 Veloce and your result with 3 inches is surprising smile
