DSLR NGC6729 20.7 hours

This seems to a popular target at the moment, and so here is my take on NGC6729.

Tech Details:
Telescope: 130mm f5 newtonian
Mount: HEQ5 w EQMOD
Camera: DIY Peltier modded Canon 450D, with sensor at a nominal regulated 10 C
Guide scope: Rubinar 500/8 with QHY5L-II
Software: SGPro and Pixinsight 1.8
Capture: 155 x 8min subs @ ISO1600 captured over 5 nights

As per my recent Helix Nebula image, this one has also been pre-processed using Pixinsight's Bayer Drizzle feature, which results in a demosaiced RGB color image directly from calibrated raw data without interpolation.

Based on the feedback from the last image I've tried to go easy on the decon, whilst still aiming to pull out some detail in the dark neb and reflection neb areas.

As always advice, comments and criticism are encouraged - its how we all learn and improve
