Corona Australis

It's a perennial favourite of most imagers but it's the one that presents the most according to a few older chaps in our astronomical society.

The image contains 13 hours of integration with around 4 hours of Ha data.

All data was captured at Swan Reach Imaging on a OOUK AG12 with a ZWO 2600MM.

The hard part of this process is balancing out the very bright O and B type stars in the reflection nebula with the fainter dark nebula. I am happy that this is the best image I have taken of this target but the question is whether I am happy with this final product? Perhaps is the answer.

Many fine aspects to this top shelf rendition.

I'd question the high contrast, saturation and the highlights look a smidge overcooked.
(I'll happily accept unmarked bills at the usual drop point for this sage "contest winning" advice )

But....maaate...we are in S-Class Benz territory here.
