Near the Carina Nebula and Statue of Liberty Nebula still an early morning target in our Southern skies A mixture of old and new data mainly because of our shocking run of summer weather.

Cheers Paul, the new Pixinsight goodies make it a much better processor than what it was even a year ago

Amazing photography

Stunning shot! Really love the colour and the subtle detail throughout the whole field. And thanks for sharing that processing tip I might try to do that next time…

What a great object and shot. Love the mix of dust lanes and nebula! Very nicely done indeed !!

But it does look like the massive tomahawk steak my son won in a raffle and wants to bring over to cook on the BBQ.

Thanks for showing.

Thanks everyone,
David there are a few youtube videos that demonstrate adding ha as luminance etc.
Chris, I love a good tomahawk steak
