Cheers Tim! Truthfully, composition is my thing - I spend ages working out FOV, camera rotation angles etc. testing as I go.
The last thing I want to do is spend 20+ hrs on an image that I'm not happy with compositionally, as it's too late to fix it later!
Thanks for the kind words.

Cheers Rick - mmm I was a bit close to the edges when framing.
Maybe I didn't allow quite enough overlap between frames, and I may also need to revisit the spacer rings between the flattener and the camera -it could be .5 mm out; resulting in some slight coma at the edges, which doesn't help with registration.

As to colour - well if it was taken under dark skies we wouldn't be having this conversation!

But I take your point

I really liked your original EE Barnard Ha version though

Cheers Mike, I concur that maybe this one looks better in Mono.
That being said, shooting RGB under LP does test and hone one's processing skills!

Always learning....

Cheers Rodney, there's lots to see and ponder in this field.
Thanks for the nice feedback!
