IC2118 Widefield from Bretti

Hi all,

I've finally had some time to sit down and start processing my data from my week away up at Bretti and Wiruna.

Here is IC2118 better known as The Witch Head Nebula in Eridanus which was shot at Bretti on the early morning of the 24th September.

This is 3 hours worth of 3 minute exposures. Shot using my Canon 6D and Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS lens at ISO3200 with the lens stopped down to f/5.6. Pretty happy with the amount of dust I was able to pull out of this one. I was also surprised to see so many tiny background galaxies in the 100% res version. Some fog came in towards the end of the session, hence the glow around Rigel. I was going to remove those frames but I kind of like the effect.

Higher res version can be found on my flickr page here.

As always, feedback appreciated and thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Jason
