Hi,

I've never image this region before, and there's so many designations for what's going on,( RCW 60, RCW 61, RCW 62, Gum 39, Gum 40, Gum 41, Gum 42, and IC 2944 in star formation region SFR 293.64-1.41 with 51 components, including 7 masers and 18 infrared sources ) I decided to call it the jelly fish nebula.
Ive been twrawling the interweb for images, and there's not a huge amount . It really is a beautiful complex, rich star field, two snake like dark nebula and the jelly fish.
I'm pleased with this image, I think the colour balance is right, I usually go overboard with the magneta.
Constructive critisism welcome.

Equipment.

8" Newtonian astrograph f/4. on HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader coma corrector type 3.

17 x 9 minute subs, iso 800, stacked in DSS, processed in PS7.

Cheers,

Justin.
