As stated in my M42 thread, I decamped at a chums place in Bortle 6 (slightly darker than my home location of Bortle 8 which has a huge tree in the way):

Great capture... seems a certain tree needs to be cut down back home

Thanks every-one.

It's not my tree, next door neighbour who was very co-operative about me installing my obsy next to their fence 10 years ago when their tree was very small, but now their tree has grown huge.

I am absolutely staggered, I only joined this forum in the last 24 hours, and am still feeling my way around.
Thank you so much.

Since I only just joined I have a fair few images to post up, so now I am feeling a bit embarrassed.
I was however rather chuffed with this image though, so I am glad that you liked it.

Nice work Carole! Beautiful image and certainly worthy of the APOD! :Clap:

An enchanting and gorgeously rich capture of this region. Thank you for sharing, Carole.

Really nice image Carole - Lots of nebulosity and detail. Nice control of those pesky star halos too.

Cheers,

Nice image. Great job.

[carastro]

Revision of the processing.
Was never happy with the pink version of this, so i had another try and also did not crop the image this time.

[Dragonsfire]

Great details

Now that's the cat's meow, Carole. I think that's the "real color" version of that nebulaic complex … if not, it's very close. I'm with you, pink nebula Nyet, red nebula Si'!

And there's an appearance of more details, too.
