Thanks, Mike. I think I'm working out that for a well-imaged object, "nice" might mean a gold star and a koala stamp.

what an amazing image - NGC 300 in Ha.
I've never seen that before &
1 hour subs binned 2x2 !!!
You are giving me ideas.

cheers

Thanks, Allan. For really faint stuff, a dark site, ultra-long subs, and 2x2 binning are the way to go.

Usually when I look at an Galaxy image with added Ha, I don't pick up on just what an impact it has to the overall image. So I'll be paying more attention in the future.

great idea to show both images.

Cheers, David. Glad you like it and had fun comparing.

Best,
