Really happy with this one. One of my gateway drug to this amazing hobby.

Total integration: 60 x 300s
Taken from a Bortle 2 zone in NSW with:

• Redcat 51 + ASI2600MC-Pro
• WO Uniguide 32mm + ASI120MM mini
• SkyWatcher AZ-GTIi
• ASIAir Plus

Processed entirely in Siril.

Why wouldn't you be happy with this one, Jimmy! A great example of this colourful part of the Milky Way. 5 hrs spent on Rho has really paid off and taken from such a dark location has brought out it's best. Well done mate, what a start.

Apologies. Late reply. I don't spend much time in forums.

This is taken with Optolong L-Pro in bortle 2 zone in Bookham, NSW, Australia.
There was a rather significant sky glow coming from Canberra but overall very minimal and easily processed out.
