Thanks Steve, yes I'm probably guilty of pushing boundaries again, glad you liked it

You can lose the "telescope view" though - it doesn't add anything to the image IMO.

Thanks Marcus, I figured that not everyone in the IIS audience might not appreciate the different presentation, but thanks for taking the time to comment, all feedback is welcome!

I'm ok with the telescopic view as well, why not

The neb is quite defined, as in, the edges are rather clear cut, doesn't fade of in the expanse like most, so it kinda Pops out at you nicely - well done

Cheers Bob, it's a funny one as the edges near the "wings" are very clearcut, I suspect one would have to go VERY deep to find more info beyond them. Thanks for the input too

When Trish and I first saw your image, we thought, "Oh, we would love to photograph that ... never seen it before", and then we realized that we've imaged it once a year for years, but our field of view doesn't quite capture the hard edges of the butterfly wings, and without those it looks completely different: snoopy the dog on a rocket ship with a blue ion drive. In your view, it is clearly a beautiful butterfly.

We really like your processing (although you've held the green back too much. Hydrogen alpha is photons too!) And personally I like the circular view.

Best,
Mike

Thanks M&T, I was hoping that the extra data would help me to get closer to the quality of your image of this. My setup is a bit below par compared to yours so whatever I can add to the processing to help it along is a bonus!

Cheers Rodney, appreciate the positive feedback
