Description

Another image from the archives!
This is an h-alpha/RGB image I took using the 2-metre Faulkes Telescope North, located on Maui, Hawaii back in 2004-ish. Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate the original FITS files for this image (despite trawling back through old hard drives!) so this is a minor reprocess of my original image. The exposure times were very short due to a lack of autoguiding so the total exposure time would be something like 12-minutes (120-sec subs) for h-alpha and 3-minutes each for the RGB filters.
