Vulcano Nebula
Vulcano Nebula, located in the Big Dipper constellation. Close to the Bode and Cigar Galaxies -M81 & M82-, among remnants of stardust -IFN-, this extremely faint nebula is hidden within it.
Since we can't afford a remote hosting service, gathering enough signal required 15 field trips during the New Moon, under low temperatures and good atmospheric conditions free of clouds and wind.
