| Comments: | Sky quality ranged from 20.9 to 21.08 according to my Unihedron Sky Quality Meter. Most images of this nebula are taken in narrowband in order to also show the extremely faint Ou4 nebula "The Giant Squid". Don't bother looking for the squid in my image because it's far too faint! But there's plenty of orange/brown interstellar dust instead. |
