Very nice capture Carole.

The dust clouds really stand out against the background stars.

Thanks

Thanks everyone. Feel a bit silly now, as I processed the above image on my laptop at Astro camp. Not been able to get onto my Desktop at home for long enough to reprocess it until today (due to son moving in to my office/bedroom but he's out working today so a chance at last).

I am much happier with this process, I hope you are too:

Thanks Gordon, would you mind substituting my reprocess of this target (unless you think it is less worthy of the APOD). It's posted in my post om Wed Oct 20, 2021 3:24 pm in this thread. I'd have added it into the original posting, but we can;t modify posts at a later time.

Thanks

Hi Carole,

Both are certainly worth a TSS APOD!

I usually take the first image because that's the image that caught my attention!
