Imaged with a Skywatcher 254mm F4 Newtonian, ASI071MC Pro on an EQ8 mount.

Ninety 90-second frames stacked in Nebulosity and post-processed in Photoshop.

That came out well, Tim. Lovely colours in both nebulosity and stars. There's a structure about 20% across from the left and 30% down from the top that we always think looks just like a hollow prawn shell. You've got lots of detail in that area.

Perhaps the blacks are a tiny bit clipped.

Best,
Mike and Trish

Clipping the blacks is my besetting sin.
