Very nice detail of the core.
Amazing what you can capture in just 20 seconds.

[TrevorW]

Thanks JJ

actually 3 minutes total exposure

[Jen]

nice work for a quickie Trevor well done very soft

[Hagar (Doug)]

Very nice for just 3 minutes Trevor, and without sounding nasty and not knowing Brett, keep at it yourself Mate. Your original image is very nice so imagine what you could get with a couple of hours exposure.

[TrevorW]

Okay Dougie

[bluescope]

I agree with Doug that your original image has more accurate colours Trevor it just needs heaps more exposures of longer than 20 seconds now that you have the core you need to capture the fainter nebulosity. Keep it up mate !

[TrevorW]

Thanks Steve I was tempted not too even process this but will do in earnest on a good night

say

20 X 20 s
20 X 1 m
10 X 5.5 m
