Corona Australis region (+ dustbuster repro 15/5/13)

Nothing special for all those that have snapped this field before, but I've never been able to have a decent go at it before with the much tighter field of my Newt.

This is the best of about 5hrs taken from the wonderful dark (and windy) skies at Leyburn outside Brissy over the weekend just gone, and my first chance to stretch the legs of the FSQ. Always wanted to have some decent "dust data" and this is a decent start to play around with and learn more on the processing side. Had hoped to shoot this with the reducer to get a bit more FOV out of my APS-C sized chip, but still grappling with adaptors, so F5 was the go in the end.

Tak FSQ106ED @ F5, QHY9, NEQ6
LRGB 70:30:40:55 (roughly half 5min, half 10min subs, all unbinned)
