| Date: | September 8, 2001 |
| Exposure: | RRGB : 8 x 300s R, 8 x 300s G, 8 x 360s B |
| Processing: | MaxIm for DDP and color combine, CCDSharp (1 iteration of each individual layer), Stretch, PMView for color balance, Photoshop 5.5 for JPG web conversion |
| Conditions: | Good clear night, Mag 4 Skies |
| Scope: | Vixen 102mm Flourite, f/6.5, 2.288 arcsec/pix measured with TheSky |
| Camera: | SBIG ST-237A, -10°, Vixen 6.3 Focal Reducer |
| Comments: | Tracking was good by the ST-4 through my CR-150 @ f/8. I took all the Blue first (closest to the meridian), then the Green, and then the Red. The RRGB technique seemed to work best for this nebula. |
