Description

I spent all of last night imaging the Spaghetti nebula and then the comet 2022 E3 just before dawn.  I processed the comet this morning and then moved on to the Spaghetti nebula.  This is a very tough target in Bortle 5-6 skies.  It is very faint and very large.  Subs were collected for longer than 5 hrs but most were useless for stacking because of poor contrast/sky transparency.  I ended up staying with this collection of subs totalling 4 hrs 56 minutes.  The useful subs were mostly taken after midnight when transparency appeared to improve.  I used my Esprit 80 with an L-Extreme filter and ZWO ASI 6200MC camera.
