Description

IC 1284 is a small emission nebula with surrounding reflection and dark nebula in the constellation of Sagittarius, about 5500 light years from Earth. Captured from Brisbane Australia in LRGB over five nights in late May 2023. I ended up having to throw out about 30% of captured data due to smoke from local hazard reduction burns. Total imaging time is 15 3/4 hours.

Title: IC1284 2024 version

Description: A combination of improved processing skills, new tools being available and ongoing poor weather in my part of the world since November has prompted me to go back and revisit some of the images that I took last year. My earlier versions of this just bugged me as I wanted to get a natural look to it, but I was pushing the stretch and the tweaking of the colours too hard. This resulted in an image that didn't look natural to my eye, so take 3 on the processing of this data.
