M20

[RobF (Rob)]

Oh man, you go to share a quick (42mins) pic of one of your fav objects, and Peter Ward has just put up a new masterpiece version!

What the heck. Sharing this as pretty chuffed at the detail shorter 2min subs and well behaved skies allowed in processing. Thanks for looking

Great effort Rob and good detail for such short integration

[RobF (Rob)]

Thanks Trevor!

Thats a great Triffid

Nice looking Triffid Rob, good thing about a wide field is you have plenty of cropping/framing options

Thanks Peter, thanks Mike

Yep, wasn't sure how to show on FB so got a bit carried away with the cropping options on display here in hindsight

Really do have to get back up to speed on best size/format to show on Ice - think I should have unticked the ICC profile option in PixInsight perhaps - seem to have really lost contrast and colour somewhere along the line. Live and learn......

Wow, amazing detail on those dust clouds.

Thanks for checking it out Marcel

Lovely colour and I love the clouds of stars surrounding m20!

[RobF (Rob)]

Thanks David - tried not to go nuts on the colour. Agree on the star clouds - quite a magical area all around including the nearby cluster.
