Description:
Last year, it was a challenging task to photograph the Squid Nebula (Ou4) from my balcony with an average SQM of about 18.5 (Bortle 7). This year, I wanted to raise the bar by also photographing the surrounding Flying Bat Nebula (Sh2-129), composing a 2x2 mosaic and reaching a total of about 120 hours of integration on this small patch of sky in the constellation Cepheus.
