Starless NGC6302 Bug neb-close up

Hi Guys

I had another poke at the Bug Neb in reverse Hubble pallet NB.

Starless, because of my fanatical persuit of a natural rendition .

Lets face it, if you were this close up, you wouldnt see any forground stars, so why include them, he , they are soo artifical, unecessary and messy .

Ha:Ha:OII:SII Mapped as LRGB all 4 hrs each 10 min subs bin1.
Off axis guided with an SBIG AO8 (adaptive optics guider) operating at 2 hz
Taken on a 10"RCOS RC at f9 (2275mm FL), PME mount and ST10XME in urban skies

Also here on my site.

Hope you like fuzzy closeups .
