Again, the colour is particularly pleasing. Some might say it is unnaturally saturated, but we would answer that telescope images are meant to be unnaturally large, bright, and resolved. They show differences that the eye alone cannot see.

Well done!

Thanks! :-) Yeah I'm definitely walking a fine line with the colour... I'm reasonably happy with it for now, but we'll see how I feel given a bit more time. I hope to get a lot more data on this one, so I'll no doubt process it many times.

Thanks Colin! I realise I left off the link in the OP, I'll add that in now.

Yeah, I agree. I intend to get a lot more data on this one... this is definitely a work in progress.

Recently I've started leaving the observatory open doing unattended imaging while I try to sleep... normally I wouldn't have even started trying to image this until December and then I would get at most 2hrs of data a night. So far this one has been scraping in about an hour of data a night after other targets were completed, and before the fog rolled in.

Once the seeing improves and I resolve my issues or find better ways to work around them I'm hoping to be able to start pulling in 4+ hrs on a target on a given night which will make deeper integrations a lot more realistic than they have been in the past.

That said, it is relatively bright and many integrations of this one seem to be pretty short.
