It's not often everything just works, weather etc and apart from the moon it was a great night to be out imaging

Oh I like that. Love the gas leaking out at the ridge. What sized Riccardi is it?

One minor point the bright star above the middle of the ridge looks misshapen. I think it may be a double star that has not resolved. Smudge tool in Photoshop could make it rounder.

Very nice. I like the colors. :thumbsup:

Thanks Greg, the Riccardi is the m63 0.75 I stuffed that star up when I did the star removal then added them again, normally the stars look better when I do a screen layer, in this case I should have done the full linear dodge instead my aim was to minimise the stars and it did too good a job.

Luckily I had many variations so was able to salvage the stars where I borked them.
