I haven't posted an image in a while, which is probably good as I keep learning! I thought I'd post this relatively successful hyperstar RGB image of this dark knotty region in Rho. I'd never tried it before but it sure is cool lookin! 33 x 5m (2.75 hours) with C9.25" + QHY12 OSC CCD. PixInsight & PS CC

Good composition and a very interesting field, Dylan.

Awesome FOV and composition.
The bright stars appear to have strange hard edges & haloes though?
I really like the dark, brooding look.:thumbsup:

Nicely framed region Dylan, very dusty area thats for sure.
It also looks like there is a fair bit of a green cast mostly on the left side of the image.

Nice one Dylan! :thumbsup: It's a fascinating area.
You've done well to avoid the annoying reflection streaks Antares can produce when imaging this area.
I imaged IC 4603 at the IIS astro camp in 2014 with the Hyperstar and Antares manged to "remind" me it was just out of field in every sub. :rolleyes:

Thanks all! Yes, I'm afraid I haven't got a handle on flats yet so the edges aren't 100% due to the synthetic background extraction. The star halos are out of my control though, just a symptom of the hyperstar rig with bright light sources, especially with 5 minute exposures heh.
