About this image

Latest image using iTelescope T21 shows that the parts of the nebula closest to PV Cep are fading when compared to my image from 18th April. More observations planned over the next week to get a better image.

Maybe it's going to fade from view again as it did at the end of 2020 and 2022...?

Updated 5th May: Another imaging session of 4th May to give a total of 15 x 180 seconds with iTel T21.

Updated 7th May: Final session on T21 this month giving a total of 20 x 180 seconds imaging time.

Image 50% original size, north up.

Don't trust the plate-solving...it got it wrong...!
