Crux QHY8-SLR lens

Love these lazy summer nights
Back to basics here, QHY8 and 80-200mm SLR lens, set at 80mm FL
and f4.
Piggybacked on the main GEM and 12" OTA.
This one is Crux , cropped from an autostitch of 3 sessions.
As the night went on the air became clearer or more suburban lights
went off. You can see how clearer Crux is compared to Carina which was
the first of 3.

Hi, Steve,

Talking about "Another from Australia Day", which is my favourite: You're successfully showing how busy the region is, that the coal sack isn't black, that the galaxy contains billions and billions of stars.

Perhaps as a visual treat it would be even better if you pushed it only say half as hard, so that the coal sack was dark but not black, and the colours of alpha, beta, gamma, delta could be more strongly saturated?

Perhaps there's a mid-zone between what I'm suggesting (which might be pretty but a bit conventional) and what you've done so far?

Best,
Mike

Thank you Colin and Mike,

I will give your suggestion a try, Mike.
The 30 sec set from January seems to process better than the 60 sec later set.
My processing skills are a bit rusty too.

cheers,

Steve

Here is the original stack result, before any processing.
Feel free to have a go at processing it.

I'd be interested to see how others go.

It was a bit of a rush job, but I managed to frame one of these
and put it in a staff photo exhibit at Flinders Medical Centre over Xmas.
One of two I submitted.
