Corona Aus from this morning

[dvj]

Almost real time, here is 20 x 300s L channel with the FSQ and 16803 from this morning's imaging run. RGB exposures are running as I write this.

You still have to push pretty hard to bring up the extended dust cloud.

That looks great. Nice framing, you've captured a large part of it there.

That's a great field and framing. :thumbsup: I have half of it now and I'd like to do a color mosaic of the area. Weather pending.

Great shot John, lovely monochrome processing too, you must have some experience at this :question: :thumbsup:

Hi Marc, If you do a web search, you'll find a few extreme wide field images that show a long, trailing cloud of dust across a good portion of the constellation.

Hi Mike,

I don't like my color processing skills so I stick to the easy grayscale. :lol:

Thank you Greg. You have a very nice image of this area. As I gather color data, I'll see what I can get. But I've never been good at color.

A beautiful monochrome photo John.

Nice, wide composition, sharp and so much detail.

Who needs colour!

Wow John!awesome seeing the extended dust for a.....composition second to none...hurry up with the color!any one who has such an understanding on brightness levels should do killer color(not kill the color)

Thanks Louie! Just as I began working on the RGB, the weather turned poor in Coonabarabran. The Moon is soon to get in the way. Still, lots of months ahead to finish this up.
