The Dark Doodad from my B4/5 backyard.

Would you believe, I travelled 400km to pristine Bortle 1~2 skies about 150km south of Toowoomba, but with a forecast of rain, I did not even take my telescope... Wouldn't you know it, the forecast was incorrect, and I watched the stars roll across the velvety black expanse with my mk1 eyeballs...

Upon returning home, the good weather continued, and I was able to put this together.

At this stage, I'd call it a work in progress, It's about 1/2 the integration I want, and maybe 1/4 the integration it deserves, alas, a cheeky prelim process of the data yielded a pretty positive result!

6h 10m LRGB 3h 10m L, 1h each of RGB.
