Hi everyone and happy new -clear sky- year to all.

There's loadsa faint gas/dusty stuff between Perseo and Tauro I've looked at on kstars but have always been taken by the more glamorous targets on sale at this time of year. In fact there's hardly anywhere FWOABW black. Anyway, here's one attempt. Thanks for looking and do share your interpretations of the same as I've little or no idea how to deal with all that background.

700d: 2 1/2 hours @ ISO800

Nice image and a happy new year to you!

Quite a convenience, I was just thinking about this target as you posted since hubble took a photo of the target only a few days ago, showing up on my feed today.

On my list to try. Looks harder than I thought. Very nice

Hi. 5 minutes; I wish I had persevered with more of... I took flat frames and used an offset master.

I think that's the best image you've posted. It's a notoriously hard target but one of the most beautiful in the sky. I've certainly never got it right and intend to go back to it. If you doubled or trebled the data and followed the same processing steps you'd be right on the money. You've kept the background values high which is the way to do it. Here's mine from five years ago done with Yves Van den Broek.
