Yea Ryderscope, I was amazed - there's just no substitute for more data as Paul Haese and Fred (Bassnut) have repeatedly demonstrated with their exceptional images.
With my 5.6 rig and the 5nm filters, 10 hrs per filter = 30Hrs+ total seems to be the minimum requirement for a nice image on these little feint nebs in the LMC.

Thanks Russ, plenty of interesting targets in that region - blows me away that we can photograph nebs in another galaxy from our backyards!

Thanks Mike - Learning Startools has really helped with my image processing. It's a pretty awesome program, and for a visual learner/user like me, very simple to use. This was taken under an almost full moon so the gradient removal tool (wipe) has been very useful.

Thanks Lucas, I'm thinking it may benefit from even more data, when the weather permits.
