Sh2-129 and the mysterious OU4

Since I started using the CCD to run longer and longer integrations over individual objects, and considering that the nights available for imaging are one or two per month (at best!) I started thinking in terms of projects. Well, one of the projects it is now concluded and it concerns this region. I had taken from Saint Barthélemy (AO) and the RGB Halfa on September 10, 2010, thinking that the object was practically completed (http://skymonsters.net/immagine.php?img=Sh2-129.jpg). Then, browsing the net for information related to this subject, I came across this little article: http://www.outters.fr/images%20site%...rte-OU4-eu.pdf
So I picked up the project again and last August, from Tortorici (ME) I integrated for 8 hours with the OIII filter in same field. I find the result very rewarding and I hope you like it too.
