Description

Part of a superb dusty region in Lupus, this nebula also known as B228 is a new favourite of mine, such a varied starscape.

Very pleased with the progress with my small setup, being an ASI1600 MONO cooled camera, filter wheel, HEQ5 mount and Pentax 645 200mm lens.

On this night in June I saw good guiding for me, having fixed a few foundation issues. You can see some chromatic aberration which will disappear once I get my Other Pentax lens spaced correctly. But my processes an uv cut filter have helped matters no end.

Very pleased with the star colours extracted, due to using low gain @75 and 3min subs.

This image comprises the following exposures, all of 180 seconds each:

14 red

10 green

4 blue

28 luminance

Taken from my dark sky home in Tamleugh, Victoria, Australia

Description: quick adjustment of blacks to make the stars pop a bit more, but very hard to do without losing the dust detail!
