Ok then here is the colour (just for you Trevor!
)
Despite the god damn, full bluudy Moon, really nearby !!!
I managed to collect 2hrs of OIII and 30min each of Red Green and Blue, to add to the Ha collected a few days ago.
I have created a hybrid Ha/OIII Bi-Colour, near true colour image.
The seeing held to the typical Eagleview standard over the two nights of data collection and man, for a 12" F3.8 Newtonian, operating at 0.84"/pix, heck, I must say I'm very happy with the outcome, what a nebula!
It is so intricate and with so many different fine chaotic features and cross striations, like an Abstract Expressionist painting (think
Blue Poles)
Peering deep inside
The Swan Nebula
The Full Frame image is a veritable
Maelstrom in Sagittarius

See 1834 drawing by John Herschel, with the same framing as the crop above

Hope you like it
