Hi everyone

This one is dim and needs loadsa frames to get anywhere near. To see anything, turn up your 'phone's brightness! 

The main problem for imaging here ATM is resisting the temptation stop whatever you're imaging and go south as Scorpio and Sagittarius rise. By then of course it's too late to get anything decent before sunrise. That completes our excuse section for today.

Thanks for looking and as ever, do please post your dslr images of the same.

Nice capture! I love these planetary nebulae.

Subtle processing and nice that you resisted any temptation to crop (if you were tempted) 😆

Well done!! 👍

Yeah. it's the first thing I thought about doing. Far less work!

In this case though, I think context is important. Maybe small objects in general?

Cheers

Absolutely! The image gives a great sense of scale! 👍
