A good start. What sort of refractor is that? Are you runningbit reduced and corrected?

Refractor 130mm Sky Rover f7 tripplet with a field corrector to 5.6 cropped image
it was going to be a different image wide field changed mind light pollution
so the image was cropped.

It's looking pretty good Martin but I do prefer the first one. The second is a bit over cooked IMO.

Nice one Martin, it is such an evocative region of the sky, the twists and swirls of Ha are just so mesmerising :thumbsup: Looks like you may have used Ha as Luminance..? If so, this usually results in a silvery salmon pink look, it can be better to add the Ha to the red channel...if you didn't use Ha as your Luminance..ummm :stupid: and considering your light pollution this is a pretty good result :D Enjoy your new scope.

Thanks Michael i used the HA as a Luminous and pasted the Luminous to RGB
next time i will paste it into the red channel if that helps easier to process
