This was a difficult image as I had made several trips to my dark site only to be
disappointed with clouds/rain. There would be a brief opening in the weather
only to be stopped before I could get a complete LRGB.

This image was taken under a 2/3rds moon and the object was very low in
the sky by the time the clouds had cleared for a little while.

LRGB 10 10 10 10

Using a magnificent TEC180mmFL(the best scope I have used) Apogee U16M camera
and Baader LRGB filters. From my dark site in NSW Australia with kangaroos
on my property.

Nice image. Those globs are hard to process, and I am guessing that one must lead the way in difficulty. How long were your subs? (And I wish it were a bit higher where I am.)
