Description

iIMAGED WITH PETER WOODS AND PAUL KUMMER.

The widefield image was taken with a Samyang 135/TS 2600 OSC camera. The main nebulae were enhanced using data from a RASA 8 to be published alongside this one. This is the first time I've made a composite image like this with the stars removed. When I replaced them, I used only the Samyang stars to achieve consistency in the star count. This gives a more natural blend and is easier to do.  This is a crop.
