hi folks,

finally a clear sky in the night.
seeing was very good this time 6-7/10 !!!
that is rare at my place.
transparency could have been better, and moon was up - even it was close to the horizon, contrast was no good.

Fantastic shot Dietmar!
3.8 hours? man, some people don't realize how much time is invested on each one of these shots, sometimes... wink

Thank you for sharing!

That is a really nice image Diets. You have excelled past your normal high standard with this one.

Diets,

You got a wonderful shot despite all your challenges. I do see where there's an abrupt transition from the outer edges of the nebula to background on the left side. I wonder if a gentler transition is possible? Of course, if the data shows exactly that, then there is nothing else that can be done! smile
