The Fly

[Padraic M]

I have a narrow window of sky from the meridian to 120 degrees which means multiple subjects per clear night. This one is the Fly - I had it framed up to be one panel of a two-panel Spider & Fly mosaic but the Spider will have to wait for another night.

HaRGB in APP, with HA applied again as luminance in Gimp as there is some nice Ha nebulosity in the area (just about coming through). Patchy clouds all night meant that most of the Blue subs had to be discarded.
