The seeing was not too shabby in old Sydney town last night.

Well the weather certainly was much better than we have here by looking at that image Peter, a bloody top shot I reckon, nice work.

Beautiful color, detail, and pleasing to look at.

Incredible image. But please don't tell me the seeing was good.. I stayed in bed last night knowing that tonight is going to be a late one :)

alot of details peter, very nice certainly. well resolved also with the bright stars without bloating this area. Although the image looks abit flat. I like it with abit of levels on the neb itself. but then, thats just my personal choice.

Fair 'nuff.

True, I could have hit the data with a USM hammer and cranked up the chroma, but I like a more natural, less processed look. As I've said before, fog doesn't have sharp edges :)

Lovely image Peter, I enjoyed the natural look of the colours and the subtle hues as well.

A lot of great detail and depth in the nebula as well.

Nice one Peter. I like it. M20 suits a more lollipop colour saturation, but I do appreciate the more subtle tones. For a straight RGB, its a lovely image. Adding some Ha data would push this to the brink of remarkable.

Yes, subtle colour on this one Peter, and I agree, flouresence suits this object. Good detail though, nice work.

I was looking at M20 around 2 hrs ago... If that seeing 'wasnt too shabby' I'd hate to hear what you think of the awesome seeing I had.

The subtle colours in the pink parts look good, how they grade from pink to blue smoothly.
