Another familiar target. I've imaged the pillars at least 4 times now. I've struggled in the past to get the guiding to behave, but this go round wasn't too bad. I used my Vixen ED81S with the dedicated reducer, my ASI174MC-Cool and my 2" Antlia Tri-band filter. The image consists of 295x60s subs. Processed with Graxpert, Siril and Photoshop CS4. Thanks for looking and clear skies :-)

Nice image! The focus seems a fraction soft, but it may have been your seeing. waytogo.gif
