Thanks Steve.
I think its time for your CCD for a long trip back to the States.

Well processed by the way, that bright star in RCW 106 is a hard one to keep under control while bringing out the faint nebulosity. Someday when you have time you should write up your processing workflow in H alpha.

Wide field of view so you must have been imaging at 500 mm or thereabouts?

What were your subs?

Once again, a great image of a not too easy target
Hi Narayan,

It was imaged at 1250mm FL but with a STXL-11002 CCD which has the same chip size as 35mm film.
The subs are 10 minute exposures.
The processing is still a work in process as I have only recently gone over to PixInsight.
Prior to that my processing software was nothing more than Photoshop CS2 and a few plug-ins.

Regards

Steven
