Good work on a challenging target, Jorge!

Thank you RickS. The clouds didn't let me do what I wished. It was planned to take 20 photos with ISO 400 - 240 seconds and 20 with ISO 400 - 150 seconds. But only 10 x 240 were done.
I would like to get the separation between the two central stars, and I could not try.

I had some difficulties to process the image, because it came to me with many details. I didn't find in Internet a photo similar. Many are profissional and others are with less resolution. I used more intuition: if there were some information ... call it up. Perhaps some area are more evident than actually it should be.

That's an interesting object. Nicely done.

Greg.

Tnaks, Greg. Really, it is an interesting object. I had intention to separate the two central stars, but I saw that my equipment hasn't resolution to do it. With the guinding it needs at least 3 arcseconcds between two points.
