Cheers Colin, yes I thought about doing some Ha but was happy with how the HII regions were captured in the RGB so didn't bother

A Very nice resulting image on your part for this target, colour looks very similar to the reference image
Great pick up on the Cirrus dust & distant galaxies too, some great dtail in them aswell !
Top show ! !
Thanks very much Casey Jones (see attached ) glad you enjoyed the view mate, I always like galaxy fields with a bit of everything in'em too

Cheers Geoff, I was quite happy with results too and as I said, glad I decided to hit it
