Cone nebula Ha

Been fooling around with a recently purchased old Skywatcher ST120/F5 scope for wide(ish)field narrowband imaging and decided to try it on the cone nebula. Done it before with a 10”/F4.7 newt with reasonable success and was pleased to find the wider field of the refractor brought out more of the fainter bits reasonably well. It's no “photo of the year” scope but I'm certain I'll get my monies worth of fun out of it.
Cheers
Stephen
