Revisited NGC 3572 The Southern Tadpoles nebula on 21st

4 hours and 25 minutes of 2-5 minute unguided subs
20 flats
20 dark flats
I tried to combine it with the data i got in january, but i made the rookie mistake of having rotated the camera and the result had huge frame borders on the final stack
I did have to crop the result quite a bit :( shame it was a combined integration of over 11 hours


SkyWatcher ED80
SkyWatcher AZEQ6 pro mount
ZWO 533 mc pro camera gain 101 @ -5°
Optolong L-extreme duoband filter

Nice capture , mate , love the white in the centre , Might have a go at this one myself. If the clouds ever disappear. Only had a couple of clear nights so far here . And one of those was a full moon.

This is the very cropped 11 hours and 7 minutes.
I tried a different palette to show the Hα in this nebula, there's a bit of a purple streak near the top, not sure what's going on there :).
Guiding is getting closer i cannot wait :)
