Description

Always wanted to image this molecular cloud but it needs a certain combination to do it justice without going down the mosaic rabbit hole (my thoughts). Dark skies with an FSQ106n and an STL11000m is helping. This though is RGB only so will see if I can get Luminance next time out to make it pop.

Theres so much going on in this image.
