The Prawn Nebula

Here is my latest effort from the weekend at Ten Chain Hill - IC 4628 and an adjacent open cluster NGC 6242.

When researching targets on Astroplanner, I noticed these two would fit into the frame of the QSI - quite happy with the resulting composition.

The atmosphere was rather moist (Peter summed it up by saying if you had a cake of soap, you could have a bath out there) so the seeing wasn't the best.

I took 10 x 5min of RGB & 6 x 10mins of Luminance. I had hoped to capture another 40mins of Luminence, but the fog rolled in ~2:30am. I plan to add some Ha in due course.

Glad to hear any advice on processing this - it looks a bit pink to me.

Thanks for looking,

DT
