Description

A woefully ambitious learning curve went into a challenging 56 hours of imaging in SII, HA and OIII across 20 panels between April and July this year. What I learnt should greatly improve my result next winter i.e. grabbing shorter imaging runs across the entire field to even out varying conditions over multiple nights. rather than completing a single panel a night (or so).

This is a crop of the full field as it got a bit ratty towards the end as the object dropped into my neighbour's tree (which was a Turpentine Tree and a notorious massive fire hazard in the Blue Mountains and is now wood chips ... thankfully on multiple counts).

Some of the OIII in this region is stunning so I might post just that later too.
