Description

This image was shot with 3 narrowband and 3 wideband filters to produce an RGB Hubble Palette. Scope is an AP 180F9 EDT refractor, with a QSI 683 CCD operating at 0.69 arc seconds per pixel. Total exposure time was 1 hour each for narrowband data and 20 minutes each for wideband. Skies were hazy but steady with seeing between 1.2 and 1.5 arc seconds FWHM.
