Description

This is one for the long run. I have tried to shoot this nebule quite some times before, but never felt I had enough data to do it justice. Lately, though, I acquired another couple of hours and called it a day. I combined data from 2015, 2017 and 2020 for a total integration time of sightly under 10hours.

Processing was still quite difficult because of the dense Milky Way starfield with it's yellowish hue and numerous big stars te be controlled carefully.

Quite a fun puzzle though!
