Default ASTRO: CAS A added a lot more time. Right photo this time

Great result Rick. I wonder why this object is not more often imaged. It
probably is quite faint, but it is interesting enough to draw more attention
than it actually does.

I was in too much of a hurry and grabbed the wrong photo. I wondered
why it sent to fast. Trying again.

Getting a few frames here and there I managed to up the time
considerably. I went to binning color 3x3 to get more even color in
only 50 minutes. With something this faint not much gets through the
filters. I pitched the ones used before, they were more noise than
signal. I'm probably done with it for this year. I'm satisfied with
how it finally turned out. There is a hint of hydrogen in the
background, to the upper left.

We leave on a 10 day trip Tuesday. I'll catch up on the posts when I
get back.
