For 12 minutes of Ha the nebulosity is showing up quite nicely Malcolm :)

Nice! I like how it shows a lot of the features you see visually that are usually lost in post processing - the dark 'bar' that bisecsts it, and the twin lobes above that. V nice. Any plans to gather more data in other wavelengths?

Thanks Colin and Markus
At this stage it was really very much an experiment to see what can be done. Plan was to have data to look at creating an HaLRGB blend. I have data in LRGB but putting it all together is proving challenging for my processing skills!! (to say the least)
Anyway, onwards and upwards!!
