Imaged from Fripp Island SC in January. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 lens at 200mm on iOptron SkyGuider. 90 seconds at ISO 2500. 13 images stacked in Photoshop. Two additional images, one 5 seconds and one 30 seconds blended with final stack to add some detail to the core. Critiques welcomed.

I don't know much about detailed astro, but man, this is a gorgeous image.

Nice. How do you like your Skyguider? What is happening odd going on from the core and moving out to the right? Possibly blending error on Photoshop?

Nice job! When I imaged this object I had to reduce some of my exposure times to one and two seconds to bring out the trapezium stars. Very difficult object to image and process.

Very well done! Lots of contrast in Running Man making it much more visible.

I hope to do as well someday. So far I’ve only captured it with my iPhone 8+ thru my ancient Orange tube C8. I’m still working on processing. I think it looks awesome. If it were mine I’d print it large and display it on my wall.
