Thanks Paul. Just had another look at your Eagle. The AOX produced pinpoint detail in the brights.

I will certainly use your benchmark image as a reference, since I have also been collecting fresh data of this target with my guidescope. Need a couple more clear moonless-ish nights to have enough to work with.

Thanks Suavi. Looking forward to seeing your wider field version!

Hi, Mike! Con should descend quite quickly. Coupla days, beauudiful!

Sometimes, when we see the astonishing work that folk can produce on bright objects in no time at all using a smaller aperture and a modern CMOS camera, we wonder why we bother with the great big beast, but the one thing it is good at is detail in very faint structures. Here, the detail out toward the darkest outer parts of the image is quite pleasing, especially, in this case, in the SII, because we've thrown both lots of hours and lots of aperture at it. Found you, you evil supernova wreckage!
