Yoda's Walking Stick - HH 100 in Corona Australis

We last shot this one several years ago, with the STL-11000M. This is 3 hours each R,G,B using an Aspen CG16M on a 20" PlaneWave, taken on the only two decent nights in a month.

Notice the wizened figure of Master Yoda emerging from under a mist of reflection nebulosity. He is wearing a shapeless dark cloak, and holding a yellow walking stick in his twisted, arthritic, reddened hand. The red blob beyond the bottom of the walking stick is part of HH100.

Also of interest is the face-on spiral at the bottom edge, surprising given all the crowding and dust.

A pity is what we think is streaks from distant Gamma CrA, far out of field to the left. They converge to the right spot.
