About this image

LoTr5 a super faint Planitary Nebula in The Constellation Coma Berenices. In fact this nebula has the highest latitude of all planitary nebula.

Extremely faint, from my Bortle 7 location and with the moon in the way it was very difficult to get and decent data.

IThe strongest signal is the Oiii band, but with the moon in the way very little data came through. The Ha was slightly better.

Had to over stretch to get any of the nebula visible and unfortunately this image has some bad banding.

This i will address once I can get better data on a clear night.
