IC4601 in Scorpius - The Horse's Earring

Hello,

It has been a lean year!

October and I have only managed 2 dark site visits all year.

This photo is from my trip to Coonabarabran in July. Four beautiful clear nights.

IC4601 in Scorpius.
It looks like an earring on the Blue Horse Head Nebula.

230 minutes total exposure comprising of 14 frames of 20 minute and 10 minute exposures.
Darks but no flats.

Televue NP101, 101mm, F5.4 Refractor.
QHY8L OSC CCD.
Skywatcher EQ6Pro Mount.
WO 66mm Guidescope.
QHY5-II Guide Camera.

Guiding with PHD2.
Capture with EZYCAP.
Processing with DeepSkyStacker and Photoshop CS2.

What do you think?

The photo is here http://smu.gs/1ssGX0K

Thanks for looking.

Ross.
