Hi all,
Here's my effort at NGC 2359 in bicolour narrowband.
14x 30min Ha and 16x 30min O3, captured with G2-8300 through my 115mm/F7 triplet riding my Astronomy Academy hypertuned Az-Eq6. Proceed mostly in Startools, with help from Nebulosity 4 and Ps. It could probably do with a bit more smoothing and rgb stars, but for now it'll do..

Thanks for looking, and please offer comments and critique.
Cheers,
Chris

Looks good Chris as the others..with just O111 and Ha..you could spend time with RGB..but is that really necessary when youve captured this so well..unless your going for Malin Awards etc.
BTW how is that scope visually..contrast wise ..where you impressed?

Cheers, Joe. Yeah I'm not bothered with Malin Awards and the like, this is all for my own enjoyment :) Also since day one it's had a ccd strapped to it so unfortunately I can't comment on it's contrast.

It's a sharp and detailed image Chris, 15 hours really helps with smoothing the background out.

Nice detailed and captured image. I think the saturation could do with a boost though, but still a good image.
