Impressive FoV Louie. Enjoyed the framing, perhaps not intentional but it works well given you also picked up the faint and small emission neb RCW71. Colours look spot on. Great work.

This one was much better than last year, unfortunately had lots of issues with my setup and lost lots of nights on test or taking unusable frames

I understand however that weather got worse in Australia on recent years, thanks to el nino or la nina..

I commented on this image before but just wanted to add that this is really a super image. I have imaged the Jewel Box many times and I have never gotten one I was happy with.

Your image has captured it extremely well.

Widefield is obviously the way to go with it.

Greg.

So many wonderful images this week but I couldn't go past this image of the Jewel Box. I have real soft spot for this cluster and Louie, your image is beautiful.

This is now IOTW.

Ah lovely work Louie. I really like the way the coal sack is in the corner and then the cluster right in the center. The coal sack has lots of lovely smooth knots too. Processing is really nice. Fantastic image. Great stuff.
