Sorry bit late with this,

This is quite a heavy crop, I just couldn't sort out some gradients in the uncropped version.

~1hr 45mins, 71 x 90secs (the moon prevented longer subs) ISO 800 with 30secs gap between, 25 x Darks, no flats. Taken with modded Canon 350D, CLS clip filter and Canon EF 70-200mm at ~170mm and f/4 on an EQ6 Pro running EQMod guided using Skywatcher ST80, Phillips SPC900NC webcam and PHD.

Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed in CS3 using curves, levels and Noel's Actions.

Thanks,

Jordan.

Here's a wider version,

managed to sort out the gradients I think but there's a few weird things because of the lack of flats.

Thanks,

That's a great piece of work Jordan. I like the framing on the cropped version best

Good and wide even in the crop. (I like pictures of this because for some reason I just can't see the blessed thing either naked eye or in bins.)

Lovely - I see what you mean by a heavy crop!!! Great image, love the widefield of that area, but you are right, the crop is magical.

Cheers Richie,

It is quite a major crop.
