This was taken much earlier in the year, and was the last target imaged with the trusty ol' ASI1600MM-Pro before I upgraded to the ASI2600MM and 3nm Filters.
This is one of those targets that I always keep coming back to, mostly because i've never really been happy with how I'd previously captured or processed it.
So this image represents not only a bit of a send off for old equipment, but a good solid effort in trying to do the both the equipment and DSO justice.

C&C is very welcome on this. I think the processing leaves a bit (lot?) to be desired, but I think its partly a function of the data I was working with. I feel like I've either over-stretched, or not got enough of the OIII channel. Either way, I'm looking forward to tackling this one again next year with my much better setup.
Thanks for looking and Clear Skies!
