Description

Okay, I give up. Imaging and processing a dark nebula is just beyond my current skills. Maybe also my camera's sensor is not sensitive enough, my scope is too slow or my sky too bad. Conditions weren't ideal either... over six hours of data went to the trash can because of intermittent clouds, maybe I should have excluded even more from the stack. Who know's!? But as I've said. I give up and salute to you guys generating all these amazing dark nebula images!

Actually, this image isn't even bad in my eyes. But it's not what I hoped for. So I take this as a lesson about setting expectations appropriately and will return to brighter targets
