Hi all, second image with the new rig!

NGC6334 The Cats Paw Nebula!

2 hours 20 mins of data - lost over an hours worth of data due to a stubborn few tree branches that I didn't know would impact the session :mad2:

Thanks for the kind words as always, Alex :D

Both images are lovely and I like the detail you've captured. While I enjoy all astro-imagery there's something about the SHO colour palette that particularly appeals to my sense of colour and tone. I'll add the Cat's Paw to my list of things to have a crack at. Alex

Yeah both are really nice renditions! Great work!!

This was my first attempt at SHO and I have to say, I agree with you and I love it so much! i'll be acquiring more data on this target when the skies permit me to do so, so hopefully with more data and more learning I can make it look amazing!



Thanks so much :D
