Corona Australis attempt

Hi all,

here is my first attempt at corona australis,
definitely one of the objects that captured my imagination as a kid, still recall the AAO version to this day.
Definitely needs more time and or dark skies. 2 hrs 45 mins worth here, hard to bring the dust through. not so happy with the reflection neb, i've got it nice in less pushed versions.

cheers

Hi Russ, not bad mate, like you said I think more time will help. Only other thing, your stars seem a little flat or something, can't quite put my finger on it. That may be a result of pushing it so hard as you have said. Overall not bad, can't wait to see the finished version if you get some more subs.

Nice one. Lots and lots of detail in the Herbig-Haro tangle, despite the wide field.

Trish and I had a go at this on the first clear night in a century, only to have the focuser motor misbehave (unattended) due to my thoughtfully having dropped a shim while lubricating the gears. All fixed now that it's raining.

Good work.
Best,
Mike

Thanks for the encouragement Rex, yep i'll need some more data for sure to iron it out a bit and probably a reprocess or two!

Nice composition, Rusty. Lots of data required for these dark, dusty objects!

Cheers,
Rick.

thanks Rick, that is becoming abundantly clear! i had an inkling it was the case and now i definitely know it to be true
the plan is to have an obsy up by spring next year and hopefully a cooled mono by Jan (and tilt sorted by Sept '15).

Cheers

Rusty

I'd like to see it with about 20-30% of the original colour scheme blended back in..?

Cheers Mike, I might give it a crack tonight if time allows. I do find it hard to get colour / brightness right - particularly for darker shots as I process my images on the living room TV.
