It is and from what I have read the theory is the shockwaves are from an early stage of the Type O stage development. Obviously its blown its stack at some point. Its a supernova candidate in the future.

Life is fast at F3.8 and also at 17 inches of aperture! Thanks Rick.

Consider getting rid of the blue cast perhaps? RGB stars will look richer. You seem to have black clipped your red channel as well - sorry  |
Thanks for the critique. I revisited it and fixed the clipped red. I found out which step did that it was the colour balance tool. Blue is a bit more balanced but still quite a bit of it. This is a Ha O111 LRGB image so its more narrowband than RGB (LRGB just for the stars really) so the blue is part of the O111 data as far as I can see. Cheers Marcus

Nice image Greg, does look a bit blue but it's so pretty, like a backlit neon |
Thanks Andy. I looked at the blue again and its pulled back more. I think its correct now for the Ha O111 data set I have. Thanks Andy. Same link.
Greg.
