I was delighted to have spent 5 nights at Australia's premier Dark Sky Park at Coonabarabran NSW. this faint target was my sole focus and I managed to get 14 hours of RGB and 1 hour Ha with ASI 533MC pro and Samyang 135mm.
The Starless version shows the galaxies within this massive nebula!
I really like it! And great to have so much clear sky on a trip for a specific target... great stuff Did you camp out there, or have a place to retreat to for sleep during the day?

Thanks! Yes stayed in motel which backs up onto some seriously dark sky. Just ran a cord out of my room!)
Amazing images!
So I don't need the telescope out to capture this nebula?
I'm sure I have a decent lens with close focal length and easier than ...
Oh, I still need the mount set up I guess to get great images?
A great image to me is 100th of the quality of what you've captured.

Thanks Leo. It's a camera lense but it's basically known to be good for astro. You need an adaptor to mount onto your camera.
An excellent image from your trip
Must have been a sight looking up at Milky Way
You can’t beat dark skies in any form of the hobby
Well done !!

Thanks Martin. To be honest I felt at home under the dark sky. Days gone by there were many more people alongside but due to technology advances in LP filters less and less people make the journey. I for one will always go to dark skies every opportunity I get because as you said the milky way is unbelievable
