Great colour Ross, and I really like the field of view. I did this several years ago and I would need two panels to get your field of view. I concur with Rick about the globular. Something odd with that, but the rest looks great.
Don't know about you, but I find this a difficult beasty to get right. Especially that globular!
It seems me you just about need to cut the globular out while processing the nebula then paste it back in.
Ross,
aesthetically speaking – it is just beautiful .......
Thank you Ian...means a lot!

Very encouraging comments Paul. Thank you.
The 540mm focal length of the telescope gives a nice, wide FOV.
I have tried fixing the glob. I was too busy worrying about the colours to notice anything else.
Trying to blend the 20min, 10min, 5min and 2 min exposures I think has resulted in the glob looking like a ball.
I have tried fixing it, but my Photoshop skills are at their limit

Cheers,

Thank you Justin.
It was a very difficult object to process.
I did exposures at 20, 10, 5 and 2 minutes, but blending everything was a nightmare!
Getting the "correct" colour was very difficult...if only everything was monochrome!
If I can manage another trip to Coonabarabran soon, I'm going to image this object again in widefield.

Thank you Rob, glad you like it and thanks for the advice.
I have re-posted a version with hopefully an improved glob.
Bah! Was just about to post my salvage attempt on this from last night's cloud-affected data. Not going to now
Very nice, the contrast is really well managed, but the glob still looks sorta 'flat' - not sure if you know what I mean.
Nice baboon's head for sure. The Glob looks like it's been cut and pasted using a square frame. Not saying it has but it just looks too regular like it is a bit artificial, added in after.
Otherwise the rest of the image is stunning.
Like 2 eyes staring at you. Like Rick said too, the glob looks too round or something, doesn't worry me though. Awesome image!
