Description

The IMX455 on a 530mm focal length scope produces such a massive field of view you can really frame a lot of targets together.  As you know I'm a sucker for dusty targets and when I got a couple of clear nights around the new moon I couldnt resist choosing this really faint region.  I'm super happy with this scope.  Thanks @Bill Long for talking me into getting one!

I've got to put some time into processing out the flare around brighter stars, but I am a pretty lazy post processor and it's delicate work.  I'll get around to it in a future revision. 

Imaged over two nights, unguided with a Mach 2. 

C&C Welcome.

Description: Just a reprocess. There are some red hues in there that I thought were gradients. Turns out I think it's real. I think it is just some of the diffuse HA field in this region of the sky.
