Description

This area gets imaged alot, most often in narrowband, where the vast Ha expanses over power the image. Here I have gone back to RGB via the Nikon D5300 (unmodidied), to get a look at the detail of the Homunculus, the central billowing cloud.

The image consists of 80 x 35s subs, shot at ISO 800, processed with Darks and Bias in DSS and finished in Photoshop CC. Scope was my homemade 10" Carbon Strut f5 Newt, with Baader MPCC. Mount is the CGX.
