IC1318, the butterfly nebula

[Nicola (Nicola)]

After being a while since I posted a CCD image here is my first light of the QSI583wsg with the FSQ85ED.
I was definetely excited to image with a CCD and still I am, the only bad side is that it seems that the total integration time is never enough . This is also an LRGB, something quite new to me.
Sadr's light is quite overwhelming, but I managed to get the small emission nebula close to it.
Comments and criticism always welcomed!

You're acquiring some beautiful images with that Baby-Q and this is another fine example.

Looks really nice with very vibrant colours Nicola, but the hi res link isn't working unfortunately....
So can't really see to much with the posts image.

Nice shot of a beautiful object. Too low for us down here.

This is excellent Nicola, truly a master piece!
Glad you posted the full res version, great depth and an interesting artifact around Sadr, I like it!

Very well done on your first light on the QSI and this lets us see how good this smaller sibling of the famed 106 is.

Hi Marc, I understand that. We have the same feeling with Cat Paws

An interesting artifact? Hmmm...that's not what I would consider interesting, can you please tell me what you are referring to? I might be able to correct it.
