Here's a crop [1:1] about 50% of the original wide-field. That was 15x5min with a QHY8 on a Celestron 5" autoguided with PHD on G11.
Stars are a bit soft due to collimation and a bit of coma. Center nebulosity came out alright. Next time I'll try to complement data with 10min exposures to get more of the outside blueish ring. Hope you like it.

Shame about the quirks, as the image came out pretty good. Look forward to a re image after your done collimating etc.

Good start in your processing too. Colours look pretty good.

Looks pretty good, it seems to have that explosive effect, yes Marc, we like it.

Lots of blue there. Wish I could get as much nebulousity. Craig
