Was that from your back garden? You wouldn't know you had any light pollution.

I wish.

The LP is non stop here, football floodlights 6 days a week, several high power garden lights.
Think its the end for imaging here, although I was thinking of trying narrow band with a ccd, but
the expense is not what I want just now.

The image data is from Deep Sky West in New Mexico, I'm a member of the widefield imaging team.
It's a site at 7400feet, it's nice and dark and normally has a lot of clear skies.

That explains that then :-) It is a pleasing image with lots to look at.

Do you have a link to a bigger image to look at?

It's definately not perfect, still learning the art of processing.

You should get the bigger image by clicking on it and hitting full size button.

I had another go at processing this, think it looks better.

If im honest i think i prefer the first process which is lovely in a widefield. Gives a real feeling of foreground and background.

On my mobile device the reprocess looks better. The iris neb has less green, as has the background. The dust cloud on the left is less saturated, and the faint dust is brought out better.

Great image. I love it
