Corona Australis

I've been working at this for a week now - overall I'm quite happy with it. Its the faintest object I've attempted from light polluted Sydney.

The L was relatively easy to capture - all 10 minute subs. The RGB was a pain - all very uneven leading to colour gradient. Stepped the subs down from 5 minutes to 2.5 minutes binned x2 which made it much easier to manage.

Happily Maxim guiding was playing nicely

Tak 106FSQ, QSI 583wsg - L 90 minutes and RGB 45 minutes each - or thereabouts.

I'll gladly take any processing suggestions - the dark neb looks overly brown to me (almost muddy) but if I stretched it less, it would all look a bit plain and dark.
