Loving the smooth detail and contrast on the repro now Greg, really nice dynamic range - still thinking there should be more gold in them thar stars though...

Thanks for that. Yes I am pleasantly surprised at how much detail came out. Its quite a low object.

Thank Geoff. I presume that's the dust that gets lit up by the stars.

Thanks Andy. I usually like more colourful stars but David Malin has done a study on star colours and says they are pastel coloured so that is how I have tried to display them.

I agree that everything looks to be working well on this system now Greg. I would really like to see you obtain triple the data you have here. I think you are missing some of that really faint dust and gas that is present in deep integrations. I will never be able to image this object with my current location so I would love to see a rather deep one again from Australia.

Beautiful image!

I know that this region is my wife's favourite, so I have a feeling that your image may become her desktop, very soon! (with your permission, of course)

Deeper is always better for sure. I did a version at my dark site with an AP140 that captured more of the dust etc. But it was also a shorter integration time. Its a difficult one to get large amounts of data as similarly my observatory wall blocks a view of it for part of the time. But there is always next year and I can add to what I already have.

Yes of course, that would be fine.
