Description

I was hoping to have a much deeper integration of this target. Unfortunately most of the clear nights fell on full moon nights, hence the extremely imbalanced Ha to LRGB integration. Seeing how I won't have clear nights for weeks ahead, I don't think I will have another chance at imaging this target this year. Maybe I will have a chance again next year to add to the data at hand. I really wish I could get more IFN signal but that is extremely difficult from my light polluted skies. 

CS!
