All subs were 10 minutes.
I am pleased you liked it
Thanks

Thanks Colin,
With the colourised layer, was that added to the blue or red channel as this nebula is predominantly blue as in the image below? is it possible to create a synthetic luminance and then add Ha for a HaLRGB and thus preserve the blue?

I just had a look at the image on my PC and noticed the red and blue stars have white cores, is this a result of stretching? did you use a star mask?
just learning the ropes with processing so thought I'd ask.

That CDK-700 is one fine scope with a lot of zero's in the spec, zero backlash, zero pec, zero/no coma....
sigh..

Cheers
Alistair
