Description

It's been a while since I posted anything.....Summer stuff, vacation, and some family things....so I'm trying to get back to processing some images!  RCW 113 is also known as Gum 55. It is a very large region of diffuse nebulosity that surrounds the core ionizing cluster NGC 6231. Also, contained within this field of view is the Prawn Nebula, The Wolfed Nebula, and bright-rimmed cometary globule SFO 82. Most of the objects in RCW 113 lie at a distance from Earth between 5,300-6,000 light-years.
The image has a total exposure time of 5 hours, with each sub @600s. I used the newest version of WBPP to calibrate and register the RAW subs, Normalized Scale Gradient, and then drizzled the registered files to get better star quality.  This data comes from Telescope Live's Australia-2 Takahashi FSQ-106ED/FLI PL 16803.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
Tom
