I missed this one. Boy that's a cracker, one of your best for quite a while.
Great processing too - you brought out all that faint dust so its stands out nicely with no noise.

I can see what you mean, this is the FSQ at its best and a perfect target for it.

Nice one.

Greg.

Hey thanks heaps Greg

Just quietly...I've been pretty happy with every image this combo has produced so far actually, the two of them together work like magic, I'm just the custodian pointing them in the right direction

Mike,

I really like this one.
I find I like the sublime monotone dust images better than than the colourful nebs most of the time.

I think its a bit bit like comparing a beautiful black and white image with the colour version - for me the B+W wins most often.

It will be my new Desktop image if that is OK with you ?

Thanks for sharing

Yeah well look Rally .. I charge $100 to use one of my images on your desk top...per day!

Kidding

Cheers mate and thanks for the nice feedback, my wife agrees, she likes minimalist too, she often likes my raw data more than the finished product

Amazing what a filthy place our galaxy has become. Someone needs to clean it.
I love these shots, not only first-rate hardware, but dark skies and a fair degree of processing skill have to come together to make it look so natural. Definitely out of reach of us city-bound imagers!
cheers,
Andrew.

You really pick some obscure things to image.

And we all appreciate it.

Great image.

Brilliant, these dusty areas do make great imaging targets and certainly suits the FSQ.

Cheers Scotty. Rather than with Galactic Cirrus and although similarly faint, I think this sort of cloud is actually lit from stars within..?
