As mentioned elsewhere, I really like the subtle detail in the reflection nebulosity, something that we narrowband addicts miss out on.

Toward 12 o'clock there's a small interesting dark nebula in the form of a water-diviner's stick, or upside down y, that I've not noticed before.

Good solid star colours too.

Best,
Mike

Thanks Mike

Thanks Ross. Yes the colours are the best part of the image.

The stars in the blue neb have deconvolution rings around them so perhaps that could be avoided with a star mask when doing that step.

Deconvolution is not the greatest tool around. It helps at times but its a bit destructive as well.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. All good constructive comments. I'll take them on board
