About this image

I managed only 85 exposures of 120 seconds each using the Optolong L-eNhance Tri-Band Deep Sky Imaging Filter, totalling just under 3 hours. Hopefully, I'll get a clear night soon to add more data. I'm quite happy with my first attempt at capturing the Seagull Nebula with my Redcat.
