Eskimo nebula

[emyliano2000]

The Eskimo nebula, my third planetary nebula of the year. 
I had a lot of problems while capturing this target and ended up using a third of the total frames that I shot.
I think my mount has a problem in the DEC axis and the guiding doesn't wanna play ball when shooting targets at declinations close to this targets.
The nebula itself is quite small for my setup so this is a massive crop out of the larger photo.
I'm fairly please with it even though I would've loved more detail in the nebula itself.

Great detail in the nebula given the size.
