[ATMoB-discuss] Pickering's Triangle in H-alpha

[John Boudreau]

About 2 hours after the ATMOB meeting Thursday night, I started imaging Pickering's Triangle in Cygnus through a deep sky H-alpha filter with my TEC 140 refractor. The result of the exposures from that session and the following night of Friday into Saturday morning is here:

It's about time we had some clear skies with decent transparency--- figures it was with a bright gibbous Moon in the sky though... 
Lets hope that the Stellafane weekend brings nice, clear skies. We've earned it!
