there are a few others in this view also, but these are the main ones I think.

So, very happy to have the observatory up and running again here in Yass and this image was taken with the FSQ106N and STL11K.

Total exposure time was 21 hours and 45 mins comprising of:

SynLum (Ha, NII, OIII 5hrs each) HaOIIIRGB (5:5:2:2:2 hours) plus 15 x 1 minute subs RGB for star blending.

I did ponder the different colours apparent in the 3 main nebulae in the view, but someone once said 'respect the light', so when I went back and checked the Ha integration, it was very obvious that all 3 were emitting at different levels. So, I think the colour balance reflects what was captured.

thanks for looking!

cheers
Martin
