[27.2 hrs below the] LDN - 1235

[AstroGS]

This has been one of the most challenging images I developed so far, as the combination of the Ha with the LRGB was not as straight forward as I thought initially. The data were captured with my RedCat61 + ASI2600MM + Antlia 3nm filters driven by an AM5, from PixelSkiesAstro in Spain, Castillejar, where I have setup my rig.

This region is below the Dark Shark Nebula (LDN 1235) and it has a good portion of Ha, which made it quite interesting to capture - I had to use a combination of the Image Blend script, in combination with some weird Pixel Math on PI and then some additional processing on Photoshop. I found myself moving between PI to PS, in order to bring it to this stage. Probably there are other ways to process it but, I am pretty happy for now.

Ha: 87 x 600 secs = 14.5 hrs

L180: 85 x 180 secs = 4.3 hrs

L300: 65 x 300 secs = 5.4 hrs

RGB: 30 x 120 secs (each) = 3 hrs

Amazing. What looks like two separate dust clouds/blobs with their own wake/trail. Shockwaves.

Great image. Impressive indeed.

When I first saw this I thought you had managed 27 hours from Northampton - now that would be impressive 😁

I think in Northampton we had something like 27 hrs with no clouds the last 12 months in total! Yes, I agree. 27hrs imaging time from Northampton, would have been more impressive than capturing a grey alien going for shopping at the dark side of the moon. 🙂

Is this your own private rig you have out there or are you part of a syndicate? This is stunning! Just goes to show you what a lot of good data can do.

This is my own rig that I have setup in Spain @PixelSkiesAstro indeed and I cannot agree enough with your point that the more data, the better.
