[QUOTE=Paul Haese;1169292]I did a similar orientated image and looking image a few years ago. Then only last year I did another orientation and on both occasions I felt the composition looked odd. That said, I like your star colour, detail levels and look in general.

I think also the seagull nebula is the one at the bottom of the frame. I don't think the one in the centre of your frame has an official name. It might be the whacky racer though.

Nice to see you enthused and imaging again Greg. [/QUOTE

Yes I remember your image and it was definitely one of the images that inspired me one myself. Its a fabulous panorama of interesting objects.
This image is a crop as the composition didn't work out as well also. But this one I like as the blue spray of stars offsets the nebulas creating a frame that I like.

Stars are spot on and good colour through the image.

Thanks Justin. The autoguiding and tracking on this image was some of the absolute best I have ever gotten. The Ha and Luminance has FWHM 1.2 stars in it.

I have done a repro of this one taking into account the comments. I have tamed the blown out highlights better (the O111 is quite bright) and retained better colour balance with increased vibrance and contrast.

Greg.
