I have been hanging onto this image since first capturing it back in December of 2017.
It is so hard to find the right balance when processing this image so I spent the extra time and effort on it.
I also managed to learn a few new tricks with photoshop, so happy about that.
Skywatcher 102 on a alt/az mount, sysnscan goto.
Canon 1200D without any astro modifications.
ISO 1600
183 X 25 second exposures.
Dark and Flat frames.
Meade series 4000 UHC nebular filter.
Captured from Durban on the night of Friday 22 December 2017 under urban backyard skies.
I could probably squeeze more from this, so expect to see another re-process or two, it's the astrophotographer's Achilles heal, we cannot help but do re-process after re-process!
Here it is:
Thanks for looking, comments and criticisms welcomed.
