| Description | Returned to this classic nebula as part of the December 2024 CN EAA Challenge. Hoped also to capture a small galaxy, IC 2005, that can be seen through the HII gases, appearing in a small section that looks like an arrowhead at the bottom (see gallery image). The only telescope I own capable of imaging this completely is the Askar FMA-180-pro. |
