Description

Here the annotation for this image... Of course I had to come across a little Planetary Nebula in my image, although it still needs to be confirmed.
I imaged the Flaming Star and the Tadpole Nebulae last year with my ASI183MC pro (at 1/4 of this FOV) and I am really loving the new Poseidon-C camera. It is so much more sensitive to photons when it comes to capture fainter nebulae. There are so much interesting structures in this area.
