I love this area of the Southern Sky.

The result of a massive supernova it encompasses a large area of the sky of which my image is
only a small part. My recent Herchel's Ray image posted here is a part of this complex.

Tak BRC 250, Apogee U16M camera, Baader LRGB filters, Astrodon O111 and Ha filters.

HaO111LRGB 35 160 60 60 60 60 a total of 7 hours and 15 minutes.

Taken from my dark site observatory in NSW Australia approx 150kms inland (West) of Sydney in the Great Dividing Range.

Holy cow Greg, this shot is a jaw dropper! Your processing looks to be just perfect.
