Description

I found this difficult to process, and it took a number of goes to get it to this stage. I am not quite sure that it looks right to be honest, but I do not know what is wrong with it - if you see what I mean. I have always found the balance of colours in this area of the sky difficult, and I am not particularly keen on the crescent nebula anyway - but at least I have faintly brought forth the 'soap bubble' which is due south west from the main object. You will need eagle eyes to spot it! At this time of year here, with the skies so light and with the lack of imaging time anyway, I have got to be pleased with this. It was 85 Has and 80 OIIIs each at 3 minutes long. Imaging time was thus 8 hours and 15 minutes. HGave a good day everyone...
