About this image

sh2-91 was August's Object of the Month. I had taken 40 images earlier in the night, however they were spoilt by a very heavy dew and the lens fogging over. I cleared the telescope objective and took an observing run of 12 x 120s, which this image is made from.

Camera set to 1600 ISO

However this did not allow me to go deep enough to register the nebula.
