Interesting to compare with your Ara "Fighting Dragons", where a similar cloud has been exposed to intense wind and radiation pressure from a nearby cluster. So different, and as Andy's image shows, not just NB vs HaRGB; the areas are structurally different.
Great work!

Thank you so much Mike and Trish.
Yes there are probably a few places around up there that are similar to this. Although a bit brighter, I recon the Boogey Man nebula LDN622 in Orion might be one..?

The star colours are beautiful, and now we can see the entire mountain range!
Seems the NB shows off more structural detail, but HaRGB clearly reveals the forces of solar wind at work.
Fun to image something new huh?  |
Cheers Andy
and yes LHaRGB images are seldom as detailed as full NB images, and the presence of larger stars also reduces the sense of details as well but given the very weak OIII signal and having no NII filter( good apprach there mate
) I really had no choice. Having said that seeing the object closer to its "natural" appearance and the faint dust, wasn't disappointing and as you say given it is so rarely (if ever) imaged it was quite a rewarding result in the end

Cheers Rick, loved reading the BFG book to my sons many years ago but the movie was a bit weired...
