It doesn't look green to me at all but I'm on my laptop, not the calibrated screen at home. The blue bits and Ha regions really do look a lot like M 33!
Cheers,

Thanks for the encouragement, Rick. Glad you spotted the seahorse!

Thanks Russ. The centre of this fellow is a puzzle. I agree with you that it would look better if it were a touch brighter. And a touch more orange, too! But it fought back. I suspect it is a bit odd as galactic centres go.

Cheers, Ray. You set the bar very high, and with a 12" too.
One systematic trouble that we're having (not wanting to attract too much attention to it) is flats. We've just ordered a 24 inch precision wide spectrum electroluminescent panel from Optec. What with the low dollar, dinner will be spaghetti on toast for a few weeks. But it might mean that we can do flats for each filter, and do them more regularly, before the dust bunnies hop to the next carrot patch.
