My capture of the The Flaming Skull Nebula and Surroundings. This is the result of 68 hours of integration time. My goal was to capture the hydrogen clouds surrounding this nebula. I used my SvBony sv555 telescope, and a zwo asi294mc pro cooled camera with and Antlia ALP- T, Askar C2 and Optolong L-Pro filters to capture the SHO palette. I used a diffraction mask to create the diffraction spikes on the stars. It was captured from my rooftop in Hidalgo Mexico, under Bortle 4 skies
