TY Corona Austalis.

Hi,

The nebulosity around TY Corona Austrails has always interested me, ever since my variable star observing days. Of course the dark dust wasn't visible only the brighter reflection nebula.
I was hoping for more data on this, but I tripped over the USB cord to the powered hub and had to start from scratch!
Hopefully get some more data friday night.

Two images, slightly different processing.

Telescope 8” f/4 astrograph on a HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Unmodded Canon 1100D at ISO 800.
14 x 300 sec subs ISO 800.
24 dark frames, 16 flat frames and 11 bias.
Stacked in DSS and post process in Phototshop.
Cheers,

Justin.
