Description

I'd like to thank Jarret Trezzo, Chris Sullivan, Elie Kheirallah and Rolf Karlstad for good feedback in color balance and post processing on this image. This is similar to my previous image on Dec 5 but I wanted to go a bit deeper and also get a wider field of the molecular clouds surrounding the nebulas.

Dec 5: Alafia State Park FL - mag 20.5 skies ~ 4 hours

Feb 5: Indian River State Park FL - mag 21.3 skies ~ 2 hours

Feb 6: Big Cypress State Park FL - mag 21.6 skies ~ 2 hours

160 x 180s for the dust and 12 x 30s and 10 x 10s for HDR on the core.
