Hello all.

Over last month I captured 9h of Ha Data with my new ZWO 1600mm Pro Camera and the results are blowing me away!

I also included a inverted version which is edited to show the very faint details and I noticed a structure in the lower left i've never seen before, so i'm assuming it's nothing, but it is only just visible in both images...

I plan on finishing this on off next year when its darker again because i'm now occupied for the next month doing various things.

 

Skywatcher 200PDS

Zwo 1600mm Pro

Skywatcher EQ6 with belt mod

about .78 arc second resolution

Captured over 4 nights

179 x 3 min @ gain 139 and offset 21

Yeah, I see what you mean, it does seem connected to the central mass. You have produced a cracking image.
