Cheers mate, makes one wonder what forces are at work to create those shapes... stellar winds? gravity? black holes? It's hard to fathom... 😀

Cheers Colin, yes this object appears to have slipped through the cracks of preferred imaging targets. Maybe now it'll get a good run?
As to all the late night stuff, well it's always nice to look up at a dark sky, regardless of the conditions 😀

Hey thanks Rick, I watched a bunch of LRGB tutorials and picked up a few ideas that seem to have helped get started, then used the
Marco Lorenzi Method to blend it all together.

Thanks very much Marcus- wasn't sure how it would work out as it was all new territory- probably could do with double the data, but we takes what we can gets, and I was stoked to get it all in one night. After spending 4 months on Eta Carina, I needed a refreshing change!

Cheers Kevin, I agree the Gums are cool targets.
Looking at Galaxy map, there's plenty more HaRGB targets to try, so hopefully the winter skies will be be clear again to try a few more.
Thanks for the kind words
