Description

Shot from Brisbane, Australia in SHO with RGB stars. I struggled with how to deal with the SHO artifacts around Lambda Cen. Wasn't happy with my attempts to clone brush the remnants of the SHO star so I just left them as is. Imaged over two nights at the beginning of April during the full moon and I was able to get away with it due to the angular separation of IC2948 from the Moon. Also, this is the first image produced from my 8" Newtonian where I have the collimation really dialed in.
