Smoky Pipe and Snake

One more image from my trip to near Coonabarabran last week. The Pipe Nebula region is lovely for a rich even mass of stars in the Milky Way's bulge, behind the complex dusty foreground clouds. Quite a few globulars in there too.

A stack of 17 x 3-minute exposures with a Canon EOS 60D and 100mm Macro USM (lovely lens for widefield views), ISO640 and f/3.5, tracked on iOptron Skytracker. Processed in PixInsight and Photoshop.

Larger version here, and a few other images from that trip are in this album
