Hi folks. I've surprised myself by finding time to shoot another target, albeit one less seen here (read almost never): IC1283 ... sometimes called the Twiddlebug Nebula. IC1283 is the Ha ionized (emission) nebula at the centre of the image, and the two blue reflection nebulae to its right are NGC6589 and NGC6590. It's a gem visible during winter and is a mix of everything - I love the dark lanes and the striking contrast between the emission and reflection nebulas. The dense star field is pretty cool too.
Details are: 22h 31 mins of data collected for an RGBHOO image.
SW 120ED, OSC ASI294MC, OAG with ASI294, AZ-EQ6 mount, NINA
RGB Ultra (Antlia) - 10h 19m
Ha-Oiii (Antlia) - 7h 52m
Hb-Sii (Antlia) - 4h 20m
Processed in PI and PS.
Sharing for fun, as always. Hi-res
here. Thanks for looking. Alex
