LDN673 - dark tendrils in Aquila Sidonioed

I have imaged this delightful object a couple of times. Once from Ten Chain Hill in 2011 and again from SRO in California in 2014. Both my attempts at processing the data were pretty woeful though I thought them OK at the time. Hopefully, I have finally done the combined data more justice this time and won't have regrets in 2017

Scope: FSQ-106ED
Mount: Paramount ME/AP900
Camera: QSI683/H-18
Filters: Astrodon Gen II LRGB (1.25")
Guiding: QSI OAG + Lodestar
Image scale: 2.094 arcsec/pixel
Exposures: L: 43x600s + 6x900s, R: 18x600s + 2 x 900s, G: 23x600s + 2x900s, B: 21x600s + 2x900s (total 13.6 hours SRO, 7 hrs 10CH)

High res version can be found on Astrobin: http://www.astrobin.com/235406/

Cheers,
Rick.
