Hi
Since posting my image of the "Crescent nebula in two flavours" I have had a go at reprocessing it using a slightly different method to before, this tme I used the LRGB combine in Maxim DL using Ha Ha OIII OIII for the respective channels, I then processed in Photoshop as before and used Noel's tools to create a synthetic blue channel from the red and green as this gave a more pleasing image in my opinion and I think I have got a bit more detail out of it, but I stand corrected if others don't agree. Somebody on another forum in response to my image pointed out to me that I had managed to capture the "New Bubble Nebula" (as yet undesignated), this is to the upper left of the Crescent nebula itself and has the appearance of a very faint perfect circle, here is a link to further information and images

You may have to zoom in and adjust the monitor settings to see it but on my monitor it shows up ok.
Thanks for looking (again)
Best wishes and clear skies to all

That's an amazing shot. Do you have a high-res version posted anywhere?

Hi Marc
Thanks for the comments, keep a check on my website in the very near future as I will be registering with Pbase where I will be able to post my better images in full resolution as my website package limits image size to 960 x 650 ish
Best wishes
Gordon

Absolutely brilliant image-well done. I liked the colours you managed to syhnthesise using just H alpha and OIII. Nice technique to give a great shot.
