Kinch Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 This is a target I first saw last year, and , well, just fell in love with it. I never thought I could ever get it other than through a paid subscrition to some set up high in the Andes somewhere. At the end of January though, I was delighted to find out I could just about do it from my back yard in SE Spain....if I was prepared to go 'low'. Working at under 28° altitude (as and when possible over the last two weeks) I am delighted to have got this target . (I may yet try improve on it - but that wont be a big change and it won't be anytime soon). 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooth_dr Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Seen it on FB. It’s amazing, done to perfection. I wondered why we don’t see more of it but I guess it’s isn’t possible from the UK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are, I'm just scratching the surface at the moment and I think it's at least once a day where there's something that leaves me mouth agape.

Indeed it is, I'm just itching a bit now for these curfews to be relaxed and the back orders to be fulfilled as whilst it may sound daft to some, I'm enjoying learning things again.

It is just one of those nebulas - mostly OIII which gives it a lovely colour base (even in false colour NB images). A nice change away from the "Reds". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
