Sh2-129 the Flying Bat

42x600secs from the DSW widefield setup, equipment in my sig.

Stacked in DSS post in PI and PS CC.

Thanks for looking

Nice! I don't recall having seen this object before on this forum. Will you be adding other channels to this (O-III, rgb)? Or leave it mono?

I googled it, and it seems that a major time investment with O-III as well as rgb, will reveal additional objects, a reflection nebula and the squid nebula, but also dark dust, already visible in this version. Exciting, but very much beyond my reach.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comments Wim.
It has been shown a few times on SGL, normally with the Squid OU4.

Will no doubt be getting some RGB but not sure if it will show the Squid.

It would be well beyond my reach here as well, now the football club lights are on 6 nights a week.

For the squid to show, it seems that you'll need lots of time in O-III. From what I've read online.

Is this something you can decide, or is this a group decision in your Deep Sky West group?

I believe the widefield is only Ha LRGB, I have'nt seen any evidence of O so assume it may only be a 5 position wheel.

We can input targets, I have'nt done any myself so far as there are plenty to get through already.

Nice capture, the cloud stands out with you.
