Description

It's been quite the dry spell for me astro-imaging wise...well because it's been quite a wet spell locally ;-) ... just a handful of clear nights the last 6 weeks and in the southern summer nights are getting pretty short as it is!

I've imaged this area of Dorado or overlapping areas a number of times in the past but revisiting as few other good targets in the early evening. I had intended a two panel mosaic that captured even more of these peculiar nebula..looking for all the world like space bacteria or jellyfish floating through space... with so few clear hours gave up on the scond panel for now and posting what I have ~10 hours worth.

Stacked in separate Ha, SII and OIII channels in APP combined and processed in Startools 1.8 (binned 2x2 for better S/N) and finished in PS CC.
