Short exposure dust -- vdb120

[Tom Davis]

It seems that my images are getting shorter and shorter in exposure time, rather than longer. June, of course is a limited dark time month, but with clouds it seem to be more difficult to get any imaging done.

This image is of vdB120 in Sagittarius. It is only 2.5 hours, and yet, look at the very faint dust in the region picked up by the RHA. It would be fun to get more exposure time of this region and see what else comes out but I am pretty pleased with what shows up in only 2.5 hours.

I would need far more than 2.5 hr to see any dust. Great image from an impressive scope.

I bet that was a bit hard to process, looks good though!:thumbsup:
