Excellent stuff!

Not many people have exclusively targeted the Coal Sack as its own thing. As a dark nebula, it presents a host of technical difficulties. You've managed to pull a bunch of OC's including the Jewel Box, the more opaque and more tenuous areas and how they all interplay, and just how busy the foreground of the Coal Sack is.

Lovely image, Raymo

Alex.

Edit: there's a reason why few people tackle dark nebulae: they are bloody hard to do! And the Coal Sack still holds a lot more detail!
