Description

Sadr, the surrounding region IC1381 and neighbouring NGC6914 region.

This is a project I've been working on over the last 3 nights. It comprises 3 main mages blended together and cropped - I still have more to do as I would like more below the gas cloud below Sadr to even up the image as there's a lot more nebulosity there to get into the final frame.

Each of the 3 images comprises 50 x 3.5min subs at ISO800, 20 darks, 20 flats and 20 bias so 330 frames in all and almost 9 hours light integration time.

It's a big improvement over my earlier stuff and I've only been at this since January.

I know that editing is a personal matter but would like some feedback on the colour and saturation levels here please from more experienced contributors to calibrate my output a bit. I'll post the final image when I get there but need another few nights to complete.
