Excellent details, in particular on HH100, I guess some support of Ha data would help even more to get the contrast of this cosmic comma to boost out..

Clear skies

Thanks, Marco. We will definitely have a go with H-alpha as soon as weather permits.

Very impressive M&T! The colour is very pleasing and natural looking and resolution is top notch. Interesting feature with the extra Ha spots too.
I recently did some imaging of this area as a test for my new coma corrector and was surprised by how bright the dust and nebulousity is in the region.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Thanks, Rolf, glad you like it.

Very nice indeed. I had a quick stab at this last night with my setup I get similar FOV but nowhere near the resolution. I can see all the same things but it just doesn't look the same. Haha. Beautifully done.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Thanks, Alex.

Got a glimpse of clear sky on Saturday night. Added another 4hrs 30mins luminance. Reprocessed from scratch, taking into account feedback so far. No satellite trail. No black rings around stars. Identified and removed several artifacts in the red channel. The artifacts do seem to be related to residual images from previous shots. The new version is a little cleaner, and slightly less pushed. Sadly, the streaks from gamma corona australis are even more obvious than before.

Full sized image with additional 4hrs30 Luminance here

That looks awesome Mike. Really nice details close up.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Thanks, Marc, glad you like it. M&T.

A stunner Mike. Perhaps your finest posted here to date.

Its probably not your style but you could also do an aggressive processing version which would bring out lots of that blue gaseous flow and that little cave of turbulent gas etc.

Thanks hugely, Greg! Will have a play.
