Nice processing btw

Thank you Paul, glad you liked it.
I used the f/1.2 on this.
It's quite a difficult area to process and very hard to compress to the forum limit because it's got so much detail.
I'm setting up again tonight and try this area again with a different FOV and hopefully have guiding on it.
I was so dissapointed that my guiding keeps failing on me and it shows in the frames.

Lovely shot. The mix of colours in the nebs looks great and the framing of the dark neb really sets it off. I tried for it the other night but couldn't get the framing right so went on to other targets, maybe next year.

I wonder if you and Mike could share your data and double-stack to get even more detail, FL is different but maybe?

It's such a lovely colourful region, I always return to it each year, glad you liked it.
I'll see what Mike says about a collaboration.

G'day Narayan, I love this section of sky and revisit it each year and do a shot.
It's funny but I was with Mike on sat nite but I didn't have my gear so like he said above, I was annoying him all night but I set up the next night and I always try and frame it so the fingers run across or diag in the frame so the two images turned out similar.

Narayan, RB helped me frame the object on saturday night , so i guess it's natural his ends up the same

Thanks Mike, I'm going to try it again tonight so wish me luck with the guiding.
I wish my PHD would behave like your's does.
