Lots of red/Ha there....it's not a loop anymore, more like Barnards swathe

M78 looks good too

Seems many people are doing very similar FOV's on this area lately and this is one of the good'uns

Lovely work

Mike

Thanks, Mike! Didn't want to do a "me too" but we started collecting the data a while ago. Maybe I should have left the processing another few months and been early for the 2016 season

maybe cut it back by 10% but that's your call.

Ta, Allan. My big beef with Astrobin is that they don't preserve ICC colour profiles. On my wide gamut monitor the Astrobin image looks very magenta and oversaturated. On my crappy laptop (probably close to sRGB gamut) it looks OK. The uploaded image had a sRGB profile but it's MIA now. Could that be the problem? Of course, the original image looks fine on either in any app that does colour management.

Thanks, David.

Thanks, Louie. Anything specific that struck you as strange? I don't think I did anything too egregious in the processing but it wouldn't be the first time I messed up and didn't notice till it was pointed out

Thanks very much, Mike!
