Your software scripts are certainly doing their job! There appears to be quite a number if OIII shock fronts scattered throughout the centre of the image, very interesting!

Thanks muchly, Colin. We think the best way to tame the gradient is to gather much more SII on a night with less moon.

Thanks for your kind words, Mike. That's the right spot, and your annotated version of the photo is definitely an improvement.

I like the colour balance you've gotten and that touch of light magenta/pink is a pleasant view.
Greg.

Thanks, Greg. We're pleased with the OIII bubbles. They're consistent across three well-separated observing sessions now. The Committee struggled over the magenta blush, and eventually decided it was ok.

Greg.

Perhaps only in ones from Euchareena. It's the fresh country air.
