Hoegaarden Astronomy & Photography
This is a pretty faint nebula, an 8800 year-old planetary nebula, situated a little northeast of Procyon.
It’s surface brightness is very low. During the imaging session, the nebula was almost invisible on the monitor. I’m really surprised it came out so good. Obviously this is not a narrowband image, it’s created using a One Shot Color camera.

Last night @ 5u55m MET a small but bright streak of light is visible on the Allsky camera. Checking against Iridium flares of “Heavensabove” and with “SkySafari” did not give any satellites near that point.

To watch the whole night, please download the movie below. Lots of activity is going on, including planes but also the telescope making a meridian flip at some point.
