Good effort mate. What is the FL of your scope?

That crop is a fabulous image by itself. It looks like one of those large telescope on a mountain type images. You get a crazy amount of detail for a 12 inch scope.

I like the new square crop too.

Thanks Greg, collimation and fairly tight guiding helps with the detail. Good seeing has an impact too.

Nice detail Paul. You will be pleased with your effort. You are getting that RC to really sing.

The blue looks a little pale compared to other images of this area I've seen.

Do you bin your RGB ?

Thanks Dave, I have not binned my RGB data for years. I have my reasons for doing that but it mostly revolves around ease of adding NB data to image sets in PS.

Unfortunately this will be the last image from the RC for a while now.

Nice Paul NGC6559 sure is odd and interesting looking bit of space.
Shame to hear the RC is being retired for a while hope the new newt works well for you i'm sure it will offer some new challenges.

Beautiful part of the sky. One of my fav. Top shot.
