[Qld Astrofest 2015] IC4633 and IFN

One of my goals this Astrofest was to capture things I can't capture in an image taken from home, so I decided to go for some integrated flux nebula. This IFN in Apus I found quite interesting with the largish galaxy IC4633 prominent top left (I first noted this target in images by jase and RobF I think - thanks).

Found it very difficult to get the colours right. Seems a bit yellow/orange? I wanted to bring out some blue in IC4633, but perhaps the IFN masks it a bit?

Also soon realised I needed more data to stretch the data any more. Was the best I could do without it soaking up all of my time up at Astrofest.
