Description

I feel as though it's been ages since publishing an image ~ this, of course, a product of seemingly persistent cloud cover in the Northeast.  So last weekend (and subsequent Monday), the region was afforded a few nights of clear skies.  I checked my Nebula Bucket List and chose this fairly dim target, which nevertheless, being so close to the pole, afforded taking advantage of whatever darkness each night presented.  It would have been nice to actually capture more photons, but alas the clouds returned ....

This image was processed earlier today by myself with uber talented Astrophotographer, mentor and good friend, @Terry Hancock of www.downunderobservatory.com.
