Cats Paw Nebula NGC 6334

Cats Paw Nebula NGC 6334
Taking from the computer what works and forgetting what does not work can I take a photo of the night sky on my own in the dark.

At this stage I am waiting for my 120AH 12V battery so I can run the Laptop all night long. new moon next month I will be out on the farm. I only got 26 shots 5 min/Guided each 27th the house made it into the frame but very happy with the detail in the very small Nebula. From now On I will be adding the Astronomy number for each new deep space object So you can look it up as well if you wish.

In the shot below you can just see the Cats Paw Nebula to the left in the Black part of the shot.

I'm impressed! A great deep sky image with excellent detail, particularly when viewed large, Steve.

The shot is missing some time as I was not able to shoot long but it did give me the idea I am up and running. Quite a distinctive Nebula that's for sure. More to come from out on the Farm.
