#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #FlyingBat Nebula aka SH2-129 is a large hydrogen area ionized by stars about 2300 light years from Earth. The bright blue star in the center of the image is the center of an extremely faint blue (oxygen-rich) nebula called the Squid. Because of smoke from fires in Canada, I was unable to capture much of this nebula even with nearly five hours of exposure. I will try again when seeing conditions are better. #StillLearning
