Description

I think this marks my first decent deep sky image.

Taken at Grassholme Observatory, UK, 11/11/23. I am one of the staff astronomers at the observatory, the equipment is my own.

Need to have another go at processing it as the core of the nebula's blown out, but otherwise I'm feeling good about this. Particularly pleased with the dark structure throughout and the running man. Constructive criticism welcome.
