After travelling to my dark sky site for what was forcast to be and indeed was, a perfect Friday night and setting everything up in the heat and mozzies at dusk...my computer failed to boot fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ...packed everything up and went home with nuttin, second time in three outings that something has ruined an impending perfect night...fast losing patience
Any way...
Here is a frustration image. After the inner core region version in my last post, this shot frames the whole main nebula and has been composed from three different data sets taken over the last 4 years. I think it has came to gether "o-k" considering that the main Luminance is still only 5min Ha plus 5min Lum. It is no deep monster but I think as a basic image of the main nebula it represents at least a pleasant view...and retains some of my sanity
Hope you like it none the less....the full sword in all its glory is still coming.....sometime...even if it kills me
