well, that took time... this was my longest and toughest project since i startet with astrophotography. To squeeze out the faint nebula without getting to much noise and burned out stars was a pain i struggled with for weeks.

After 40,5 hours of exposure time at f/4 you might expect more photons on the raw stack but unfortunatly that was not the case as you can see on the second image. But at least im very happy though because this motif seems to be very rare and well accomplished.
