Hi Jase, great to see you back.

I have three words for your three images.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.

Simply superb. Great images all three, with the mosaic being absolutely top notch. Thank you for sharing these, it's very inspiring.

Lovely Jase, If that is you out of practice I can't wait to see what you can do with a bit of practice. A while between images but you still produce the goods. A huge field which look real good to me.
Nice work as usual.

Peter, I'm sure someone else has probably gone deeper, but I can't find a reference image. If anyone can point me to one, that would be great. Wasn't too difficult to lift the dust off the background ADU with the long exposures. I think anyone could do it but you'll need relatively dark skies. Thanks again!

Cheers Mike! There's something in the three for everyone I guess! Have to say that I didn't mind putting together the single frame images for a change. I've got a couple more to share as soon as I get around to processing them.

Thanks Ric! Good to be back, though haven't really gone anywhere. Just busy with work and processing other peoples data (fine art projects) has kept me occupied. Will be sure to hang around for a while. Thanks again!

Thank you Rolf. I think my pick of the bunch would be the mosaic too. Reminds me of Pentax67 large format scene through a 200mm lens from a distance. Thanks for checking them out!

Cheers Doug! No, am not out of practice. Still been imaging. Will share more once I get a chance.

Thanks again all. Appreciate the feedback

Lovely images Jase...(of course!)...
Love the way you have blended your data in the IC4628 to not only show the extent of the star cloud, retaining the colour but let the Ha data through and how its subtly over layed in other areas.
Your Omega is nicely done as well. Lovely subtle star colours and quite well resolved without burning the core.

All good mate!
Nice to see a few from you again.

All the best
Rich

Thanks.

Cheers Rich! Just followed usual practices for the blend (Ha+R:100% and B+Ha:15%) using pixel math. Trick is to ensure background ADU's are normalised between channels otherwise weightings end up killing the image on the RGB combine. I also stitched together a base RGB (no Ha data) which was blended in lighten mode to make the stars pop with colours (golden star clouds) and bring out the 'true' nebulae hues lost in the Ha+R shift. Relatively simple workflow. Omega doesn't resolve in 4" of aperture. Altering the arcsec/pixel ratio would still deliver a similar result. Need more aperture. Thanks again.

Heck, I'm late on the scene, but have to say "hat's off" Jase. More stunning images and thanks so much for posting and sharing them here. IC4628 is my fav for sure.
