Rain, Steam and Stars - IC 4628 in NB

The swirling clouds of S2 & Ha here remind me of JMW Turner's famous landscape painting, "Rain, Steam & Speed".

I was surprised to see that there are some happy coincidental compositional elements as well.
Turner must have been in my sub-concious when I was framing this one up!

I am surprised by how much Ha & S2 surround this neb, the nebulosity seems to on forever.
It was nice to revisit this region again with the new widefield 'scope to fit most of it in.

7 hrs x 1800secs Ha 5nm
5 Hrs x 1800secs S2 5nm
4.5Hrs x 1800 secs O3 5nm

Thanks for looking, taken from my backyard in Melbourne, Australia over 4 nights.
