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 (

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.
