Monkey Head Nebula

[Paul Holdsworth]

I had a relatively clear night on Sunday but with wind around 18 mph for most of the night. Guiding was a real challenge and was between 1 to 1.5 arc sec ( normally 0.6 to 1.0) so kind of knew the stars would be horrendous. Given the conditions I almost didn't bother setting up but took my chances ! Anyway I managed to get 3.5 hours of 5 min subs on the monkey head nebula using a zwo 294 mc pro, L extreme filter and the asi air plus.  Processed in APP and Pixinsight.

Cheers

That's a very nice image,  looks like even the South of Yorkshire has been clearer than North Yorkshire, let alone rest of UK.
Very frustrating here as there have been a few very clear almost cloudless days so put out my rig but early evening the clouds have rolled in. £ nights been the same now.
