First time I've had a go at a reflection nebula. Happy to have a wider field of view with my ED120 vs my C11.

That looks really nice Adam. Excellent structure in the nebula and heaps of dust. Very well done.

Very nice work Adam, a fine image of this iconic bit of southern dust and reflection nebulosity :thumbsup:

That is very nicely done Adam, i will be doing this area myself soon and will use your image as a benchmark.

A good result, Adam. Often the glob suffers in images of this area but you've handled the whole FOV nicely.

Well done Adam, looks great!
Sure is a dusty region. :thumbsup:

Nicely done Adam. I like the framing. You got the main objects on interest in the frame. I think 4 minute exposure length was a good choice as too long and those massively bright stars burn out and the glob centre overexposes easily as well. When you think about it this area has massive dynamic range with those bright areas and the very dark dust areas that are almost black in places.

Really nice framing and very well handled with such a dynamic region.

Nicely processed Adam. Lovely colour and very sharp. Well done mate.
