I had not heard of this nebula until very recently. It's quite faint. Taken over 2 nights, the 2nd night I had my dual rig in operation, the first night I only had the ED80/Atik460 running as I had the Samyang lens set up piggy backed at that time,

PS: It's surprising how different images look on different websites and computers. On some it shows a slightly purple gradient in the sky background on the left hand side and on others it doesn't show this. It's obviously there, so may need to do a revision.
Very nice Carole - great framing!

Thanks Roberto
Stunning - and a relatively short exposure, too.
Thanks Andrew

Great Image Carole. Nice dynamic colour range and excellent framing. You are absolutely right about how the same image will look on different monitors and on the web. I need to colour calibrate my monitors every 2 months.
Clear Skies.
Thanks Garrick, but what i am saying is on the same computer it can look different on different websites. i.e. different forums etc,
Carole
Stunning! I don't understand any of the technical details of how you did it but love the result
Thanks Christine.
I am doing a talk at the July meeting on imaging which might help a bit.
