Again a reasenable clear night last night.
Manage to take 16 shots at 120 sec exposure.... (still not enough shots
Richard but the nebula sunk behind the houses in front of me..).
Mounted the focal reducer behind my 10"SCT to get a larger field of view
with the "dragon head" also included in the frame.
Unfortunetly i had some trouble with the camera and the wiring (my setup
is not permanently so i have to hook up my scope and camera everytime
and i think it's beginning to wear out...) so that also resulted in less
frames than i planned..
I used the H-Alpha filter again.
No special guiding used.

Thanks for looking


I tried it last year but seeing really bloated the stars. I kept saying
I'd do it again this year on a night of good seeing but when such a
night came around I had too many "new" objects on the list. I can't
seem to get back to this guy for some reason.

Even though it is even lower in your sky than mine you got about as much
resolution as I did and in far less time. Maybe the clouds will let you
add to it in the near future.

Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
