An unusual object in Orion SH2-261 Lowers Nebula

[CELESCOPE]

Well i wanted this one before it went away from me to replace the one on my web site , well chuffed with this as its fairly faint , so i let loose and went for 4 hours exposure, made up of 10x 15 x 20 min subs, Scope used was the ED Equinox 80, guide scope C11, HA filter used , this long exposure gave me basically no processing much at,all, just a few curves and star reduction, hope you like this forgotten nebula , BLESS ITS HEART , it needs EXposure ,((pun ))

Please, keep up the good work.

Great result Rog you must have terabytes of data stored on your PC with yet another 4 hours worth of subs.
