The Soul Nebula

[CotswoldsBloke]

Hi

I've started to get to a stage where I can reliably capture decent data and get something recognisable out of Pixinsight. A long way to go, but I thought I'd share this with you. It's a starless version that was 40 x 300s exposures, unguided on a AZ-EQ6 GT PRO mount, Redcat 51, ZWO ASI533 and an L-Extreme filter

Many thanks to everyone that has helped me start out on this brilliant hobby.

That’s a nice capture but might I suggest that you may have black clipped the data given the sharp cut offs on the nebula regions and how uniformly black the background is.

My own preference is to leave the stars in, but taking them out certainly makes you scrutinise the nebula features.

Yes, you're almost certainly right. Still learning and really appreciate any feedback.

I've attached the version with the stars, too.
