Very nice Rick. These nebulae always look better in NB I think but you need marathon exposures for the best result. Your remote site must have better skies than around here.

Thanks, Steve. The SRO skies aren't exceptionally dark but the seeing is great.

Did you use your new secret weapon script on this one?
Ta, Rob. Yep, much use made of ColorMask and a couple of improvements suggested themselves. My next project is to implement the feedback from Juan and others and do a new release.

Impressive shot Rick. The contrast of the blue and orange looks great. As others have said, a lot of fine detail. I like the little black bear near the bottom right part of the blue region.

That's a very nice image Rick. Colours and details are good. My only reservation is the image seems slightly strained and that is a result of a small chip on a small scope effect. I prefer your images from your Ceravolo as they don't have that problem.

Thanks, Geoff. I was thinking it looked like a knuckle bone but a bear is much cuter

Ta, Greg. I'd much rather have a full size sensor or bigger on that scope (a 16803 would be lovely) but it's not an option at present.

11002 and 16803 are great combos with the 106ED. 8300 works pretty well but it seems to be working to get more resolution than is really there at that aperture. It still does well though.
Sorry, no constructive feedback from me - just that it's damn impressive Rick.
Thanks, Chris. I usually get the most constructive feedback when I've screwed up so this is a positive sign

I may be pushing a little to double the res with Drizzle but it has worked pretty well on a few previous images. I'd still love a 16803 instead
