[RickS (Rick)]

The Astrobin version has been tweaked a little to tone down the Ha (slightly) improve the core and also to emphasise the very, very dim star stream at upper left. The previous version was also at greater than 100% resolution which made any warts even more obvious The new version is at the native image scale.

Perhaps the Ha is a bit bright but in the widefield image it doesn't seem to be so much.

As usual the stars are perfect - man you are so good at that.

Thanks, Greg! I think the new version is a little more nuanced but hopefully the stars are much the same

Thanks, Marc. The scope does a great job!

Great data and great stars and so vibrant....I reckon it is good to see a pushed out there interpretation.

Thanks, Tim. Hopefully the new version is still a bit aggressive.

Thanks, Paul. The navigation isn't always obvious but there is a full res version there. Direct link is https://www.astrobin.com/full/351189/0/?real=&mod=

Thanks, Suavi!
