Yoda's Walking Stick - HH 100 in Corona Australis

LOVE the image scale guys!! A beautiful & compelling image in terms of colour & detail! I was going to say you can probably go deeper but that does not detract at all from this image. Really, really nice!

Cheers, Marcus

Stunning and smooth, that's going straight to the pool room I suspect!
Amazing detail and interesting interpretation with the Yoda story too.
Nailed this one you have

I notice the APOD version you linked has more contrast, seems to add a tad more drama. Possibly something to consider down the track.

Very well done M&T

Hi, Marcus. Thanks for the encouragement. We really want to go much deeper - especially to do better on those smaller HH mushroom caps and jets. To that end we've accumulated another 7.5 hours of H-alpha, and it's looking promising, but only incremental reward for effort. We need some clear sky.

Thanks so much Andy. As Marcus says, we need more exposure before we can turn up the contrast, but we'd like to do so one day.

Very best,
Mike and Trish

Wonderful work. Shows the region in an entirely new light and level of detail to anything I've experienced before. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, Rob.

We desperately need another 3 clear not-full-moon nights of H-alpha and then we can show the next version. At least with all this rain cloud and even snow the farm dams are full, and we're watching lots of movies by the fire.

Best,
Mike and Trish
