I'm only really just getting into DSO after dabbling for a year or so. There is a lot to learn - I find it much more difficult than planetary/lunar/solar work - so much time to get enough data - a whole evening or more. And I know - a) still not enough data and b) lots to learn in using PixInsight
These are my first real LRGB efforts.
All taken with Ascension 127mm Apo, ASI 1600MM-cool and matching ZWO LRGB filters. All @ 8 sec subs and either 256 or 512 subs per colour (sorry - lost the actual details). Just gives some hope to those who can only managed short subs

Re: My DSOs so far this year
OK, so how do I get my images to show here? I was using the [ur l][/u r l] method - is this not correct?

Hi Neil
I just copy the BBCode from the flicker share window and paste it to the message.
Nice collection of images, the weekend looks promising as well.
Cheers

Great shots, love the crab shot, lots of detail.
Re: My DSOs so far this year - UPDATED - links fixed
I was amazed at how much processing that took to get that level of detail - at least 3 iterations (something not mentioned in any tutorials or book on PI) of Pixinsight Colour Saturation tool - just shows I need more data.
