SH2-290 or Abell 31

This is a hard target - I struggled to make it visible without ruining its visual appeal. Luckily I had Ha & OIII from last year.
Maybe not the best…but for 25 hours+, I am happy to have finished this for now :sweat:

That looks like a challenging target - 25 hours is a lot of time. Nice work!

Thanks Ajay. Nowadays, I am of the opinion that most NB targets require as much time as we can afford (or bear) to give them. This particular target - although quite large - is most likely the weakest signal I have ever worked with.
