I like your version more than mine mainly because of the view and how smooth you got the image. I will get more data on it next year but for now I will be encouraged by your lovely image.

BTW Greg also did this too. APOD site has lots of records of this object too.

Hi Paul, thanks for the appreciation. I was aware of your shot but I missed the nice one made by Greg, saw it just now. Yes, you are right there are also some mentions on APOD page, but no one reporting the whole shebang. Apart from that I was able to find another handful of images, not so many when you can find hundreds on some more popular (and perhaps easier) targets

Greg.

Thanks Greg, as wrote above, my compliments for your rendition too, I had missed that

Very beautiful and deep, Marco! A lot of features remarkably similar to the Corona Australis region.

Thanks Rick!

Could not agree more with you John! Thanks for the appreciation

Thanks Simon, have to say that a kind of love is growing on me too on this dusty areas, they give a nice sense of depth as you said

Thanks Justin, happy to inspire your next target so

This is on my list of things to point the AG12 at under dark skies when I move to dark skies in a few weeks

Thanks mate. With your fast optic (and same camera) under dark skies you should be able to make wonders. I look forward for it than, wish you clear skies for your trip!
