Thanks guys for the comments.
David, I could not quote you but to answer you question; yes I did crop the image but only because NGC2035 was on the edge of the field. I am planning on doing a mosaic of this particular area in the future and that should balance things up.

I still find it amazing how some blobs of gas appear Blue and some red Ha and OIII are so much fun.
Not sure if you had to do some cropping but Stars looking good right to the edges.

Michael, the star shapes in this data looked generally good over the entire field in the RGB but had some odd looking stars in the Ha. I put that down to some guide settings not being really correct at this stage, still a little residual tilt and I think the secondary spider assembly is rotating a little under gravity in certain parts of the sky. I will need to try to balance this over the Christmas break. The tilt will also need to be dealt with during the break too. The guide settings I think I have dealt with now.

I could try to get some CDK17 data if you want to do a collaboration later on?

I checked back and cannot see any softening between the two. Perhaps it was more contrasted in the Ha and that gave the impression of it being sharper. I did have the Ha at a slightly smaller resolution too, so that might have contributed to it appearing sharper.
Any collaboration will be interesting and could reap interesting results. So thanks for the offer.
