Description

Dust between the Heart nebula and Double Cluster. I'm not happy with how this image turned out, but it's too late to get more data this year.

16 hours of OSC Data and 8 Hours of Luminance with a mono camera.

The target of interest was a patch of dust from the 12um WISE sky map - found on stellarium as the "Diffuse Dust" Survey. It's featured in the top right of the image.

Framing was chosen to give the illusion of something being in frame. Had to crop out a fair amount because manual rotation is hard.

Images were taken from the Cowboy Camp Campground in Colusa County and Ice House Observation Platform in Eldorado County, California. SQM-L measured around 21.1-21.3 disappointingly - ASTAP reports skies were closer to 21.5 MPASS.
