Sharpless 2-155 (Cave Nebula)
While I was out putting the iEQ45 and PHD through it's paces, I figured I'd might as well image something, and this was in the same region of sky. It's not much, but it is a pain in the neck to capture and process, very dim, so dim you can't really see it to frame it in a 60 sec exposure. Anyway, here it is in all it's glory (not). It's 75 mins of lights, 20 darks and 20 bias with the D5100/STV90. Cropped.

Re: Sharpless 2-155 (Cave Nebula)
As I carry forward with my AP hobby, I'm finding that I really enjoy trying to image the more "advanced" targets and I think you did a great job at capturing this one!

Re: Sharpless 2-155 (Cave Nebula)
As stated, nice capture of what I would also call an advanced target. Hard enough to find, much less image...Nice going.
