Description

This is my second attempt at this beautiful nebula.  It is a relatively tough target for me where I am on Earth, as it sits very low in the southern sky, and at it's peak is never very high.  I have, because of trees, about a 4 hour window to get imaging data.  This night, I was able to get 3 hours as high clouds came in while it was in it's descent.  Overall, I am very happy with this image.
