Been off for a while concentrating on my fitness and weight, starting to get a bit fat!.
Lost 5 kilo's though . Another 4 to go.
This image of IC 4628 the ( Prawn nebula ) was from just over an hour of hard won data.
I had some tracking problems, and clouds creating havoc.
I'm pleased with the level of detail, especially in the prawn's tail.
As you all know I like my images colourful, and it is!
Hope you like it.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type coma corrector, HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D. Cooler box.
7 x 8 minute subs ISO 800 and 2 x 5 minute ISO 1600. Darks. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker .Processed in Photoshop 7 .
You got quite a lot of Ha light here Justing, despite the unmodded camera. Lovely color on the stars even if they are maybe a bit soft, but this is just personal taste..

I like it. I also like the star colours. DSLR's are a bit slack in this area and need a bit of a kick. If it was an RGB image taken with a CCD camera that's what the stars would look like anyway, so why not have a DSLR do the same?
The Prawn is also on my hit list, weather permitting. Along with about a million other objects... So many deep sky objects, so little time lol.

Thanks Kevin!
Certainly have to work the stars quite a bit in PS to bring out the colour, worth it though.
The prawn is one of those nebs that take a bit to process, it's involved with a lot of fainter nebulosity which is difficult not to destroy while trying to enhance the rest.
Look forward to your prawn.
