Hi everyone

I'm calling this one, 'Alnitak of the north'. Just an unashamedly like-you-see-in-sci-fi thrash. I had a go at reducing Navi, but with the Mediterranean haze enhancing the devastation, opened another beer instead. Nice to get back to something bright after the miserable ed72.

Thanks for looking and do post your ghosts if you've had a go.

To this day I still have no idea how I managed to get it to look like this but ic 63 is my favorite dso so I don't mind.

Love the image Alacant also Paraman's.

this is my effort about 5 years ago (I need to revisit this target):

I like this the best of all the images you've posted and think it's lovely. The background level is nice and high so little dark features show against it and the stellar blues, in particular, look right - but so do the reds. The noise is insignificant and if you've used NR it doesn't show. A gentle and perfectly crafted image to my eye. Super.

Edit: I've only done this in widefield in search of the extended nebulosity. Joint project with Tom O'Donghue. https://www.astrobin.com/295716/?image_list_page=2&nc=&nce=

Here's another from the last couple of moonlit nights..  7hrs Ha and 40 mins each RGB on my Esprit100 SX46..  Thoroughly deserving of moonless skies so will return when the opportunity arises
