Awesome image. A 14" & Hyperstar gives the goods.

Awesome image Anthony - loads of depth/ detail.
Only criticism is that many stars have a violet halo - but that may just be an artefact of the Hubble palette perhaps?
Amazing amount of time spent on the image is well justified.
Great stuff

Always impressed with the crispness of detail in narrowband but sometimes they leave me cold (just a personal thing).

This one however is quite spectacular, lovely depth to the nebula, very 3D feel to it.
Hubble palette works well (as it usually does), your many hours invested have paid off handsomely Anthony, well done indeed.

Gee, thats different, very whispy and smooth. Excellent detail.
