Been wanting to do this one for years, but it is a challenge due to it's size and it's dimness.

The Samyang lens fits it well, but not Bortle 8, but decided I'd give it a go anyway. I did take some Oiii but it is too faint to be of any use. It was also a processing challenge.

Ha 21 x 600
RGB 5 x 150 each
Samyang lens 135mm @ f2.8
HEQ5
4 hours HaRGB

This is fantastic Carole! I have this scheduled for later in the winter. No wide lens for me so it's a 3x3 mosaic!

Thanks Roberto,, 3 panels, that will be a challenge. I ought to get some more data, but it was quite a task and really would benefit from darker skies.
