A chopped off Soul Nebula

[tomato]

This was from last night, 37 x 4 mins with the RASA8/QHY268c/NBZ combo, before the mist got too bad. Not much OIII signal but the moon was quite close.

I know, terrible framing, but this time I was concentrating on getting both the Heart and Soul in the FOV on the SY135 rig, so this image was compromised. I guess I could have rotated the camera on the RASA but then I would have to have fiddled with the tilt adjustment. Conditions were not great so I didn't bother. Now I wish I had as this has come out  much better than I expected.

Still very nice which ever way you look at it, wouldn't be the first time I have cropped something before it got into photoshop.
