NGC6334 The Cat's Paw nebula in SHO

Well - when I set out to take this I didn't realize that halfway through the imaging run the full moon would be almost touching it!

Anyway this is 10 hours L extreme and 4 hours Sii split and combined in Pixinsight.

Hi Paul,

another impressively-deep image taken with your light-weight rig.
Some nice detail. :thumbsup:

Thanks Pete! I was able to get photometric colour calibration working in pixinsight and it helped with the colours. The dynamic background extraction also smoothed out the effect of the full moon. But I'm looking forward to imaging the lobster now that the moon is going. Hope this time less noisy! Appreciate your comments!
