I've been sitting on this for awhile and it's not getting any better with age. Despite plenty of data I found this Witch's Head quite difficult to process but I am happy with this version.
A good deal of gradient extraction required in PixInsight but still very hard to process the colour overall. This image naturally wanted to be a lot more red/magenta and never as blue as most images of this object I've seen.

Equipment details on SmugMug with the image. There's also a portrait version in the album with North up which will suit a mobile device better than your desktop monitor (which you can't rotate so easily)
When I first started capturing this image my dome automation was in its early stages but by January it was fully automated. There have been a lot of issues so there's probably another 40 hours of data that's been discarded along the way. And then it was out of action for all of the great weather in February.. because I tried to tinker with something to improve it and then had to wait a fortnight for replacement part.. oops.
Time to think about the next target.. the dome is still capturing a few Witch's Head subs because I haven't had time to program in suitable other targets!
