Barnard 150 and Sh2-129 (a seahorse, a flying bat, but no squid!)


Fegato

For the last couple of weeks I have had the luxury of multiple consecutive clear nights with no moon here in SW Wales. The rig was wheeled out on Friday 12th, and only brought inside on Wednesday 24th due to a trip away, albeit the moon was starting to encroach by then.

I chose this target for a three panel mosaic, as it was just about high enough in the sky for my N / NE sightlines - I found that I could get the flying bat and the seahorse nicely into one image. This is what you get with a broadband Sh2-129 - no squid! But there are alternative joys to be found - dust and reflection nebulosity in particular. 

RASA 11 v2 on CEM120, ASI2400MC Pro, 3h 45m of 30s exposures over 3 panels. More detail at https://astrob.in/xq0tqd/B/
