thats stunning 

Nicely done...I noticed this in a very widefield shot I did of the Veil last year.....its a very odd looking thing....really nice to see a close up of it...beautiful work

another fine image Olly

Thats a great result...

Thats beautiful....

lovely job

Thats superb and especially for the amount of integration time even better

Nicely done...I recently tried imaging with a dual band filter I found them to be superb and a real game changer with regards to OSC

The RGB data adds a very nice touch to the overall composition - a very nice result!

Thank you....I noticed some of the faint brown fluff so collected a little more RGB. Its has a very low contrast layer of dust covering the upper left side of the field so had to increase the contrast a touch more to show it and stop it looking muddy

That’s one of the brightest images of the Squid nebula I’ve seen and great structure detail in the Bat and a comet in there for good measure,  wonderful!

I had to work really hard to pull it out with careful noise repair....but it was clear when processing that it has what I'm going to describe as spiral veins going through it....quite amazing....and the comet was a bonus...didn't plan that actually... In the words of the late great Bob Ross "one of those happy accidents"

Thats a super rendition Paul... and quite deep for only 2hrs

Wow super image Peter 👌 

Thank you for the comments ...I was hoping for a bit more of a tail with regards to the comet but alas pretty unimpressive but I think still adds something to it

wow gorgeous job on those Olly

Comet C/20223 E1 (Atlas) meets The Squid (Ou4) and The Bat Nebula SH2-129. Imaged Remotely from Spain with the Tak Epsilon 130ED and the asi6200mm pro
Exposure times were 75x 120s in each RGB filter 36x 300in Ha and 125x 300s in OIII. The comet was passing by in the early hours on the 30th of July 2023.
Those who have imaged this part of the sky will know what a challenge it is to do, this took me several iterations to before I was happy it. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. 

Thanks for looking

Another terrific image Peter!

Gonna have to move to Spain!!!

Thanks Daz....sounds like a great idea

This object is a good representation of a classic reflection nebula, showing pinks and blues, its such a nice honest object. Over shadowed by its more popular neighbour The Lagoon Nebula it doesn't get a s much attention. Imaged remotely from Spain with the ASA12N f3:6 and the asi2600mm pro.

Imaged in RGB 90x 120s in each filter

Thanks for looking
