NGC2392 the Eskimo nebula

Taken, unusually, with the H9C, which is my usual guide camera. A small camera for a small nebula, so it's really more suited to it, and I should do more this way.

The Moon was a problem for choice of targets with nebulosity. It was big enough to turn almost all the sky to milk.

The exposure was 19x90sec, with no flats, I should have, and no bias either. Darks never used with this camera. The telescope was the Vixen VMC260L at native FL.

Acquired and pre-processed in Astroart, then finished off in Photoshop.
