Here's my take on NGC 281 - an emission nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia - a bit of the sky I can actually see through my backyard forest. I finally have guiding working and my exposure times jumped from 20 seconds to 240 seconds, and I'm cranking things up cautiously. The signal to background ratio is in a different league. This image was built from 50 frames and 30 darks, all at 4 minutes each - a total of 5.5 hours of observing time. Clearly, great science doesn't come with much sleep.
