What turned out to be more of an interesting project rather than a spectacular picture...This is the final 9-panel mosaic of the enigmatic Coalsack Loop with Halpha and RGB data merged together. The Ha data was based on approx. 7 hours of 6 min subs. The RGB used to add some star colours- especially of the southern cross- was completed in 90 mins of 30 s subs just before the clouds rolled in. The target is getting low and so this was the last chance to have a go at this for a few months. All images acquired in Bortle 6, on an AZGTi-EQ mod mount using ASI533MC and 135 mm Samyang.
