A Czech amateur astrophotographer has published a new image of SH2-126, known as the Great Lizard Nebula, a faint emission nebula in the constellation Lacerta. The picture was captured with a SkyWatcher 254/1000 telescope, a QHY163M camera and an EQ6-R Pro mount, combining over 17 hours of exposures in luminance, red, green, blue and hydrogen-alpha filters. The image is shared via the Czech astrofotky.cz gallery.
Why now: Astrophotography enthusiasts are discussing the impressive exposure time and detail achieved with amateur equipment.
