Cats Paw IC4336

[Buddman (Adam)]

Popped over to a Batemas place and found a lucky cats paw by the light of the moon. Just a quick processing - fair bit of noise to be dealt with yet and I wasn't watching if I clipped anything (supposed to be marking school work).

Taken through aSkywatch ED 80, PHD guided on an EQ5 pro, 21 x 8 min subs + darks/flats/bias, ISO 800 on a Canon 1000D, DeepSkyStacker and a bit of curves/levels in PS3.

Had to do a Meridian flip half way through which I have managed to avoid so far - wasn't as painful as I expected.

Any advice welcomed - I have plenty of marking to do today so distractions are wanted. Might have another go at this one when the moon goes away a bit more.

Adam it looks a little over stretched to me make sure your not clipping the colour channels

It's a beautiful nebula Adam, there is a lot of dust in this area so the field is somwhat redenned with a little blue scattering all around

Nice job
