Description

I wasn’t sure the weather this year was going to work out for me to be able to capture enough data for this, but it worked out ok. I was hoping to pick up more data in total but that will have to wait until next year. 

I decided to blow out the core to show more of the surrounding dust and gas.  One of these years, I’ll get around to doing this with shorter sub-exposure lengths in the RGB channels to highlight the details of the inner core and show the trapezium. Something to look forward to I suppose!
