Thanks Mike, I love these nebs with the wisps, only wish I could get it sharper.

It would look good in colour if weather permits.

Thanks Greg. it does look like a giant ear. Hoping to add a few hours worth of O2 and S3 this weekend.
I'm very happy with how the stars turned out. This was my first where stars are quite tiny given my OTA is home built.
but I don't understand how the fwhm is so high. it was 4.6 or so. during focusing, lowest I got was 3.7.
A friend was getting 5 plus in his ED127 on a G11 from the same site, same night, not sure if its the backlash thats causing the stars to be smudged around.
I'm getting some upgrades happening to pimp my OTA so hope it improves.
I just want it a bit sharper.

In some ways these Ha pics are more spectacular in terms of detail
than the colour pics.

Thanks Alan, yeah, Ha has its own appeal and best is its possible all month, moon or no moon.
