More NGCs 6723, 6727 and 6729 (in Corona Australis)

[Doogs38]

I posted in June my first attempt at this area of Corona Australis after being inspired by one of Dave's (Dave882) images. I had a chance to revisit this area last weekend and now have nearly 3hrs of integration, but def need a lot more to make a decent image. But any progress is good progress despite the horrible halos from the UHC-S filter ... I need to ditch it on targets like this. I've only lightly edited this image - can't be bothered doing anything more - but think it's a def improvement over my original posted image.

SW120ED x 0.85 Reducer/Flattener
19 x 180s RGB, 23 x 300s UHC-S, ASI294MC
Darks, flats, dark flats. APP, PS, DeNoise and cropped.

Cheers, Alex.

Aw c'mon man. I'm trying to stay focused on 3 projects at a time, no wait 4.

I got a cheap UHC just to see what they were like, put it in the "for another day" box.

Very nice image Alex. I'd be proud of that so far :D

Can't wait to see it with even more data added.

Adding this one to my list of targets :thumbsup:

Stunning!!! Link to a larger image, please :)

Beautiful image and framing . Such wealth of different types of detail.

[Doogs38]

Thanks for the encouragement folks! This one does indeed have a wealth of different types of detail ... dark and bright nebulas, nebulas inside nebulas, dust clouds, globular cluster, spiral galaxy! I will def be coming back to this spot to collect more data but just make it RGB as the UHC-S filter kinda messes it up.
