Ngc 2997

I'm worried Greg is using up all the photons in SE Australia, so I've been forced to delve back into my archives for another pic.
This is another Wiruna 2010 pic I've only just got around to having a decent look at. Its a pretty field and again I'm very pleased what the skies from May last year allowed.

LRGB 15:9:9:9 (all unbinned, 5min L and 3min RGB subs)
(Cropped down to about 60% of my normal 1 degree wide field)

In case you're wondering why the unusual (and short) sub times, this dates back to my first fledgling colour shots with the QHY9 and I was taking it slow but steady to get a feel for things. I also didn't manage to centre it very well, but perhaps we could pretend I was doing something creative with the rule of thirds...
