Ngc6729

I did this object a few years back now with the TSA and before I was using automation. I spent a fair bit of time on it then but was never happy with the composition. Plus focus was just a little out despite my best efforts.

This image is an integration of around 20.5 hours of data. Data was stacked with summing in the luminance and median in the RGB. I spent a few night looking over various renditions of this object and I hope this is a happy medium.

It is a really neat object and is great at any field of view in my opinion. I really like the swirls of dust and Herbig-Haro object. It makes for an interesting looking object. To top it off it also has a globular cluster in the same field of view. The distance to the globular is vastly different though, but a happy coincidence of line of sight.
