I have not posted much recently, for some reason I just felt pictures of clouds were a bit dull🤣

Anyway, as I had my first clear night in ages on Sunday, despite flu / cold / lurgy, I was not going to miss the opportunity. I don't have a dual rig, but I currently run my RC8 and 115mm triplet together on the same target. This way, even if the clouds interfere, I should still get enough data for a reasonable outcome. This is about 17 hours of NB data and an hour of RGB for the stars. (IMX571 with dual-band and ASI1600 with true NB). Processed in PI.

Excellent result @Clarkey  Some really nice detail at full size with good colour.  A lot of background galaxies to enjoy throughout as well.  There's an interesting blue/green object in the lower right too...  Not sure if the the PI ImageSolver + AnnotateImage scripts might throw up some interesting stuff on the PGC list (and others).

Thanks @geeklee. I put the widefield 115mm / IMX571 image stack through the annotation script and there are plenty of faint fuzzies in the background. I'm glad you prompted me to do this - I have never tried the annotation script before (I am a PI newbie).

One of the most attractive objects in the sky and done beautifully. It's easy to make nebulae look falsely solid but this is truly gaseous and ghostly.

Agree, lovely image of this object and you can see through it just enough to appreciate it is a clouds of gas with various degrees of density, but still see the structure of the various parts.

I thinks thats a fantastic image.
