Hi all, been a while since I have put out an image.

This one is 25 hours of integration across Ha, OIII and SII with a bit of RGB for the stars.

I think processing it took me about the same time! Like usual I have to a do a fair bit or research and re-learn half of the Pixinsight processes. I have updated my workflow again, amazing how things change over time.

Scope FSQ106 530mm fl
Camera ZWO ASI2600MM

Seeing wasn't generally great but okay. I think I am around Bortle 5-6 here where I am. Overall I am pretty happy with the data, and I think my processing skills while still pretty basic are improving.

I have been watching a lot of Adam Block videos and also Bill from "AnotherAstroChannel" on youtube has some great stuff.

Happy to hear constructive feedback, no doubt there are things I shouldn't have done, should have done, or did incorrectly.

I have included a jpeg of the entire image and then a 100% crop on a smaller region.

Lovely Brett...

I'm working on some data I acquired on the Prawn in June at the moment... I got less than half the expsoure time that you've achieved, however our fields of view are fairly similar.

Here's a similar crop from mine (albeit, much lower resolution as my sensor has bigger pixels and my scope is half the size of yours )

Good to see there's another astrophotographer close by... I'm in Caboolture
