Description

Typical target object for a beginner in the southern hemisphere. Although big and bright it poses a challenge to properly rendering the full dynamic range from the central core to the outlying stars. A composite of 5 x 5 minute and 5 x 2 minute exposures for each of the R, G and B channels. I might try blending in an equivalent series of 1 minute exposures to see if the central core can be improved.

Revision 1. Brightened overall to better show outer stars. Cropped slightly. Still need to address burned out inner core.

Revision 2. Blended in the 1 minute exposures and adjusted the colour balance. Not sure that it is an improvement.
