Cheers Erik. Indeed the wide field image provides an interesting perspective. For a further extension of the FoV, you can see RCW119 (aka Gum57) in the top left corner of a different image I produced as shown labelled here. You can view larger resolutions of this scene here. Unfortunately, RCW120 is just out of the FoV. Probably one or two more mosaic panels would have done the trick. Thanks for checking out the images!

Thanks David! This was somewhat a rags to riches image requiring additional processing than normal. Due to camera issues at the time, I experienced dark banding across the field related to bright stars (reference attached). The camera is currently being upgraded to the latest F-series board so should be back in action shortly. The banding issue was easy to deal with using layer masks. There are still some residual flaws related to this in the final image which I could have chased down and resolved for little gain. Thanks again.

Thanks Justin. Appreciated and pleased you liked it. The faint shell/bubble that surrounds the main HII structure sure is fascinating too.

Thanks again all.
