Geest nevel

Last week we had a lot of consecutive clear nights in the Netherlands. I wanted to photograph the ghost nebula for quite some time now. However, it's very feint and hard to catch from my light polluted city (bortle 6-7). Also it was a full moon, which makes it even harder. I only own duonarrowband filter, which is useless for this target, so also filters couldn't help me. I pointed my telescope at this target and made a test shot of 180 seconds exposure time. I didn't see anything... I hoped stacking would bring out some detail, so I took photos during the short night and got 4 hour of data. Stacked it and saw some detail! So decided to go for it and photographed for 7 nights in total, providing almost 20h of data. It's insane how much difference more data makes. I'm glad I could finally photograph this target and I think it turned out great 😁!
