SL17 Dark Wolf Nebula.

The Dark Wolf is one I have always wanted to do and do it some justice.






The Dark Wolf 8 Oclock and the Leaping frog 4 Oclock are on the same ring below the Prawn Nebula.

I love the Simple Black image of the Wolf howling in the Night at the stars, Its been a Fight between clouds and rain. Its after last night pack everything under wraps again for a week and a half you guessed it Rain and clouds. What is happening targets are moving on as the earth moves on it orbit last night I could not shoot all night in the morning its in the trees next door so I have end well before sun up


Like the Leaping frog I have done this HaSS not the traditional way it normally shot LRGB and an overlay of Ha but none of the small finer details as here.. I went for HaSS as I could do it in three nights all I had to get enough shots for detail.
