There's something around 3500 stars in the field.

astrometry.net says:
Field center: (RA H:M:S, Dec D:M:S) = (17:20:13.052, -38:12:29.694).
Field size: 2.58079 x 1.93295 degrees
Field rotation angle: up is 1.15312 degrees E of N

Thanks for your time....dont know what you mean by momochrome red though?not saturated enough ?

I didn't shoot any luminance only Ha and that will dominate...might grab some lumance next year and see If I can bring more hues in.

Thanks mate,yeah really hard to find much on this one and doesn't look like the regions been shot too often....there's a cute little PN in there but I struggled to find Its designation.

Must have been a fair task to balance out the stars to the nebula.

Thanks Justin.Yep lots of stars and It becomes a pain,so the thing to do with them is protect them the best you can.
