Avalon-Instruments is glad to announce the AAPODx2 for Derek Santiago and his M-uno with this amazing Abell 12 on twelfth april 2016
Abell 12 is often called the "Hidden Nebula" because it is very difficult to observe and image due to its proximity to mag 4 star,
Mu Orionis. Narrowband filters and careful processing helped to reveal it.
