NGC 6334 and 261 + friends

We have had two more clear nights so I collected some colour data and re- shot the Ha on the Cats Paw as my earlier Ha shots were not properly focused. A lot of blue noise on the paw as well and bad framing on the green meant I lost a really pretty feature but at least there is some colour.

HaRGB 45,20,15,20. 1min subs, no guiding. Stacked in Maxim DL. Rendered and merged in Photoshop.

NGC 261, 249 and 267 in the SMC were more difficult than I expected. The Ha just didn't hold up against the dense star background.

HaRGB 60,25,25,25. 1min. subs, no guiding. Stacked in Maxim and processed in PS.
