Took this in mid April over 4 nights before we moved house. A beautiful but seldom imaged area, with long enough exposure it is quite a spectacular region really.
The following is a link to a 1400 X 900 image so that it will fit on most screens without the need for scrolling but please acces the larger file and a close-up version via the links below the image (don't click on the image).
Yet another marvellous image Mike. Amazing details from the 6". This ones lacking something. Perhaps something went a miss with the blue channel. Checked out the histogram, appears ok. Actually, it looks like you struggled with individual colour channel gradients on this image - would I be correct? Still a fine image. Well done.

Not sure what you are on Jase but stop drinking it now . I didn't really notice any trouble with gradients actually...? I didn't do a G2V but my gut and web surf tells me this is how this seldom imaged area should look...and I got a BIG gut!
Why 16 hours? Do you do a calculation as to the brightness of this object and how faint you want to go, or do you see what others have done with similar equipment?

Glad you liked this one too though mate

It's my shout Mike, sure you don't want a brew or two.
Seriously though, I'll justify my statement to explain what I see. Of course I could be totally incorrect. I used Photoshop (equalize tool) to validate the potential blue shift to the lower right of the image. The attached image below is the result. Perhaps this is related to the same phenomenon which was experienced with your Corona Australis image. I don't think it shows in the latter as the background was kept quite dark. Again, in a print you'd probably wouldn't notice. Again, Fine Work.
Nice and intriguing image,i can see how it gets it,s name.
Well worth the effort .
A long time between images mike,i am sure the weather will come good soon
