Lagoon amongst the dust.

I was lucky to get an hour of clear sky on Thursday night with no moon to worry about, just light pollution from a Bortle 6 sky. I got 1 hr of data before dew started to settle on the camera and cloud rolled in. Here's the result of 30mins of Ha, 10mins of OIII and 20mins of RGB using a Fujifilm XT-100 mirrorless camera and a Samyang 85mm f1.4 @ f2. I mounted this on an iOptron Sky Tracker in the backyard. Processed in StarTools and Photoshop.

Thats a beautiful view! Great widefield with some gorgeous colour and surprisingly good detail for such a short fl. Well done!

Thanks Dave, appreciate your compliments. The weather has just been too unreliable to drag the serious gear outside, so this small setup is ideal to take advantage of brief clear favourable moments.

Super nice, an image that really pops

Thanks Carl, like a cherry in some milk chocolate - yum.

Nice one! Love that you can see the blue of the Triffid popping too even at that focal length.

Very nicely done there!

Thanks Paul, you can even see the dark lanes within the Triffid on the higher resolution version.
