Completed an imaging project I had been working on since November - the Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulae. These are around 1500 light years away from earth.

This took 4 nights to capture, adding to the 5 nights from late 2023

2 clear nights this week gave me a chance to image the Jellyfish nebula, which is the remains of a supernova explosion that happened approx 35,000 years ago. It is 5000 light years from earth.

This took around 10 hours to capture.
