LBN 531 and LBN 532

This is an incredibly busy part of the sky. So much dust and dark/bright nebulae. The dark shar is just belowthis image and i intend, when I get another clear, moonless night to do a second panel to join up with this.

But for the moment this is what I have.

6 hours of 180s subs, Sharpstar 61 EDPHII, ASI 2600mc, L-pro filter.

Lovely! That's a brilliant composition as well, with 'movement' towards the upper right.

Great image, and brilliant composition as Olly says! Of course including the shark is almost irresistible when you first start to think about it. A recent IOTD revealed even more creatures around (https://www.astrobin.com/ji4ems/).

Thanks Gorann! Yes that IOTD is super, I must have missed it though which is unusual as I normally look at the IOTD's. I'd love to expand my plan and include some more of that area but with the lack of clear moonless nights here a two panel is probably ambitious enough.

That's a stunning image, great work to get 6 hrs on it from sunny Galway. I hoped to get a similar integration time on this region from Wales over 3 nights at the weekend and managed just 80 minutes...
