Hi all,

Following on from my "what's this nebula" question, allow me to offer up the result of my work.

No wall of text today, as I can't be bothered to engage the literary part of my brain.

The image is an amalgam of 5 hours of LEnhance filtered data and 2 hours of UV-IR-Cut filtered data. Both sub-images stacked and pre-processed in SiriL before moving into Affinity Photo.

The image below is the final result - it's not perfect (far from it) but I've got an image I can be (mostly) proud of and can now move on to another target. Preferably something a bit brighter!

As always, comments, criticism and feedback welcome.

Gear: SW72ED@420mm / ASI183MC-Pro / HEQ5-Pro / SV165+SV305 / Kstars/Ekos / Bortle 2-3
