Description

This is my second (and possibly final) take on this eye-candy nebula. This time I pressed hard on the exposure and dialled back on image scale and finally got something I'm pleased with... well, enough. Managed to capture the faint dust glow surrounding the main nebula and beyond. One thing I don't have an answer for yet is how to get rid of the bright stars glows. I managed to contain them to a degree but alas it is still there. I guess it is the price to pay for using a fast lens (with a LOT of air to glass surfaces). You can't have the cake and eat it too, apparently. Despite of what some may say...
