The Soul Nebula in Ha. This is 30 mins in Ha from the only clear spell since my mono set up arrived. The signal is so much stronger than with my one shot colour camera.
I guess 30 mins in mono is equivalent 120 mins with OSC
Can't wait to get the Sii and Oiii.

What powers this unusual nebula? CTB 1 is the expanding gas shell that was left when a massive star toward the constellation of Cassiopeia exploded about 10,000 years ago

"Color is too real. It’s limiting. It doesn’t allow too much of a dream. Black has depth. You can go into it. The mind kicks in, a lot of things become manifest. And you start seeing what you’re afraid of. You start seeing what you love, and it becomes like a dream."
