Cat's Paw - NGC6334

Here is a image of the Cat's Paw from some data I got with clouds coming and going.

I was forced in the processing to mix H-Alpha data in with the RGB to avoid washing the color.

Full size image and exposure / Processing details are here:

Rather short exposures as the clouds allowed - I was lucky to get this data - HA:L:R:G:B 24:8:9:9:9.

Nice! It's too far south for me to even have a chance at imaging.

That's really impressive especially with your short exposures, Jim!
