NGC3766 with added chicken

[DJT]

Lambda Centaurus nebula complex, home of the running one. Framed to include NGC3766 a rather pretty open cluster.

This is 3 hours of subs at ISO400.

Having a few issues with the stars at the top of the frame for some reason. I did a crop to get the framing I wanted but there are still some dodgy stars up there. Hey ho. More tinkering needed.

Thanks for looking

Great looking photo David.

Sharp and nice colour.

I like the composition.

Had a feeling it was a TAK when I opened the field. Nice pic. Your red is clipped though. A repro will make it a great shot. :thumbsup:

Thanks Marc. I took another look and did the repro, also adding 4 hours of Ha though my skills on blending are not up to it. Noticed its not clipped in PS but on astrobin I dont think the histogram gets an update when you put up a new version. :shrug:
I do need to learn to wait 24 hours before posting though. Like taking a step back and using fresh eyes.

Thanks Ross. The Tak is great for putting a different perspective on areas like this. Theres a lot going on that you can miss quite easily with the ED100
