Cheers for that Bill, clearly my search didn't include the right words

even a search using "Southern Owl Nebula" only shows up Dons image...but a nice surprise to realise that mine has come out so well, thanks

especially considering I used a super fast F3.8 12" Newt at just 1120mm FL, compared
to Don's 14.5" RCOS at 3000mm FL

...bah! who needs long focal length

and bodes well regarding the quality of the new line of 6nm Astronomik filters too I guess?
