IC2948/Thackeray's Globules - 20 & 25 Feb

A combined effort from two knights work. I was hoping to have a lot more but flexure is getting the best of me atm.

1hr 30min over the two nights of 20 & 25 Feb
Meade 8" @f/10, SCVF-H9, Ha. 9/600sec

More data makes a big difference. My previous effort of 50 min.

wikilink

I have found this a very challenging image to process. It has such a wide range of contrast, even within the major globule itself, that getting detail without accentuating noise and then reducing noise without losing hard won detail quite a learning experience in curve manipulation.
