IC5068 in Cygnus

[Carole]

Always avoided imaging this previously because I thought it looked so messy - and it is.  But since I have run out of targets I can do from home, and after seeing Roberto's lovely rendition a while ago, I thought I'd give it a try - but not a patch on Roberto's. 

Taken over 4 nights.  Skywatcher ED72 and Atik460EX. 
Full to last quarter Moon.
SkyshedPOD observatory where the dome had to be taken off as the target was high. 

Ha 21 x 600 (3h 30m)
Oiii 11 x 300 and 14 x 600 all binned x 2 (3h 15m)
Sii 10 x 300 & 16 x 600 all binned x 2 (3h 30m)

Total imaging time 10h 15m

Bortle 7/8 SE London

Amazing Carole

Could be part of a Monet painting too

Thanks Dave, looks for like an Abstract painting nightmare to me.  Lol

[Roberto]

It looks very nice Carole!  I like the palette a lot.  I think you can sharpen it a lot more given the amount of signal in it.

You are right Roberto, I've done a high pass filter to sharpen it.
