About this image

Sh 2-86 is an H-Alpha emitting region from the Sharpless Catalogue. NGC 6823 is the Open Cluster just above the dark pointed region in the centre.

I stupidly set the exposure lengths to 140s instead of my usual 240s ....and didn't notice for an hour!!! However, I'm pleased that the camera was able to gather enough H-Alpha emission for the image!
