Description

Taken with TAL-250K (Klevtsov's system 10" reflector), in May-August 2023, on my balcony in Brisbane, Australia (Bortle 7-8 city sky).
Taking dark nebulae images from the city is quite challenging, requiring maximum light protection of the tube against parasitic light (blends, shades) and calibration does not forgiving mistakes in calibration. I usually avoid such objects in city, trying either to concentrate on narrow-band targets, or chasing resolution on bright planetary nebulae.
This time I made an exception, trying to figure out how possible it is to get decent results for one of the wonderful dark nebulae taken in light polluted area.

Total Exposure is 48h 38m, taken as "LLRLLGLLB" sequence
L: 975 x2 min ( 32h 30m )
R: 169 x2 min ( 5h 38m )
G: 162 x2 min ( 5h 24m )
B: 153 x2 min ( 5h 6m )
