Environs of IC4628

Hi All,

Long time between posting images here, six months to be exact. Still actively imaging however just not enough time to contribute. Inspired by a few images posted here of IC4628, I thought I'd investigate further. It certainly is an amazing area of the southern night sky rich with clusters dust and assortment of emission nebulae. Perhaps what I found most interesting was the subtle hue differences around the IC4628 given its composition;

Warning: higher resolutions are large is size and may take time to display.

Not going to go on about the processing. Plenty of it, let me tell you. HaRGB blends take time, especially when shrouded in golden tones of the MilkyWay. Stitching could have been improved in places but it’s relatively clean. No PixInsight used here for those on the bandwagon.

For those that may not visit my site, here are a couple of ‘bonus’ images – super simple single frame images. A change from the mosaic workflow at least;

Omega Centauri - deepest visible light?? Who cares anyway? Check out the annotated version link for the dim fuzzies.

RCW132-133 - Rarely imaged, slightly featureless yet pretty cool.

Hope you enjoy them!

Cheers
