Hi Carole - That deserved the APOD! Just under 4 hours total exposure from Bortle 8 and you still end up with a beautiful image. Well done. Nice job helping the Tadpoles to stand out. Hope your weather clears soon.

Hi Carole. Just a wonderful Tadpole Nebula image from you. I am glad that you beat the oncoming bad weather for this capture. Great blue reflection nebulosity and you caught the surrounding dust quite well too. Thanks for sharing this work with us Carole and congratulations on receiving the TSS APOD Award.
