Good start Lewis! I must try this one again sometime. It's been a few years since I visited it.
Ta. Got the 7nm H-a loaded in the nosepiece for next time (MAYBE tonight, if the smoke from the Brindabella fires dissipates or goes another direction)
What is it keep trying you will get it out Lewis

Gawd, is it that bad that even the description didn't identify it?

I reckon another 4 hours should be good RGB, then maybe the same in H-a (seeing I am using H-a with an OSC, I think 1hr subs x 4 should suffice). I've tested the mount now to 75 minute single subs with zero trailing, so should be good to go.
The "red" to the left of the Statue of Liberty is an odd hue - no matter how I process it, it turn an oranger-red than the pinky-red hue of the more M-a parts - it's almost like H-a and O-III combining.

That's how it is. This nebula has one side pink/red and the other side orange. You've got the correct colors. Look at your starfield. It's consistent from left to right. Only the neb changes.
Still no new data, but I reprocessed it just for giggles in DSS and then applied Marco Lorenzi's H-a combine, which seems to be the best solution for H-a with an OSC.
Yes, it is EXTREMELLY data deficient (2 hrs RGB, 2 hrs H-a, all done with the STF-8300C OSC and an 85mm scope), so ignore the noise.
