NGC3324 - Gabriela Mistral nebula

[Craig_]

Spent a bit of time on this object in April after wrapping up the acquisition on my last target.

~20 hours integration. Esprit 100, ASI533MM Pro, AM5 & Chroma SHO filters. For this one I have not yet captured RGB stars, but actually don't mind the star colours that come from the narrowband stars after running SPCC over it - so may not even bother with RGB.

Love the framing. Imaged this myself after seeing your image.

It's quite a spectacular area.

Very nice rendition, love the colour! Even though it’s not a high focal length image it’s still showing a good amount of detail.
