Chamaeleon Cloud Compex

Taken with my ASI6200 camera and EF200mm lens, this widefield shot takes in a large area of the constellation of Chamaeleon including the molecular clouds Cha I, II & III. It is an LRGB image taking in over 28 hours of data, necessary to try and bring out as much of the faint detail as possible.

A fascinating area full of dusty, star forming clouds of dust and gas with many intricate swirls and shapes therein. Image acquisition with SGP Pro and calibration, registration, integration and post processing in Pixinsight.
