[QLD Astrofest 2018] LDN673 in Aquila

[troypiggo (Troy)]

I like to go for dark/dusty stuff up at Astrofest. This is a good sized dark molecular cloud in Aquila that I found interesting - there's couple of bits of it with small reflection nebulosity. Challenging to process, think I still need to play with the darker bits. Any tips on that appreciated.

That's a beautiful field Troy. Top shelf!
Because you've asked for tips I think you should boost the green channel a tad.

A wonderful rendition of a most interesting dark nebula. Reminds me of a cross between a Flamenco dancer and black ink strands diffusing in water.

About a 10 inch reflector? What exposure?

Best,
Mike

Thanks Mike. Scope is a TMB92SS refractor, camera QSI583ws. Think exposure was about 25x 10m L 1x1, and 16x 10m RGB 2x2 binned.

Dark and sinister looking, Troy. The Cthulu nebula
