Ced 214 Nebula

Daniel Zoliro, Chouteau, Oklahoma, USA, 21-26 August 2020

Daniel says: “Ced 214 is a beautiful narrowband target that you don’t see imaged very often. With several clear nights in a row, I wanted this to be my longest integration project to date – 16 hours [imaging time] in total. I should have taken more OIII (Oxygen-III) data – it made combining the channels a little challenging – but I was able to make it work.”
