It was nice to get some clear skies this weekend even though I wasn't able to get away from the light pollution at home. Here's a close up of NGC 6334, the Cat's Paw Nebula, at 2700mm focal length.
Scope: Ceravolo 300 Astrograph at f/9 (2700mm FL)
Mount: AP900
Camera: U16M
Filters: Astrodon 5nm Ha
Guiding: Lodestar/MMOAG
Exposures: 16 x 600s
Processing: PixInsight
I also collected three hours of LRGB but that will require a lot more work. It's always a struggle to get decent colour from data collected at home (inner Brisbane suburb).

Constructive criticism always appreciated...
Cheers,
