Thanks Suavi. Yes there are some other gems including a few 4 panel mosaics.

Colourblind Mike had to interchange the red and green channels to see what a superb image it is. A very high Wow factor.

Thanks Mike I appreciate the kind words. The Ha was very detailed. It must have been a couple of really good seeing nights plus I had the AP Honders nicely dialled in.

Mike

Yes the outer areas where the signal is not as strong? I noticed that but figured overall it looked good and to call it a wrap.

A superb image of the Rosette, Greg. One of the very best I have ever looked at. Congrats.

Cheers Russ. The detail and the colour were the 2 things I was most happy about. I have done the Rosette a few times and looking back at them they are just all red which isn't a good colour look and misses out on some of the other colours that are there.

Wow, thanks Richard. That's a nice compliment.

It's a nice composition Greg, but I agree with Mike that it looks a little too smoothed. If you back that off a little, it would be a ripper of an image.

It must have been the last noise reduction I did. The image overall had little noise but in the lower dimmer areas there was a small amount. I'll revisit it.
I should have really handled it as I noticed that myself.

Greg.
