You've got some pretty nice detail in there

Thanks Colin. Pics like that from big scopes point out features that might be worth trying to highlight.

Cheers Rick. Gaud starting to sound like Mike, I often have a hard time finding those characters.

Do you know which bit is the SNR? There's a big multiply loculated bubble at about 7 or 8 o'clock that looks very like it might be an SNR, and is rich in OIII and SII, but there are lots and lots of other bits in the image that one might guess are older, more disrupted SNR's.

Once again, beautiful work.
M & T

Thanks Mike. Ive attached Don Goldmans annotated version, and A WR, lots going on there.

edit: just did a quick search to see what the structure is - if any interest, summarised nicely here http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/ful...a19532-12.html

Cheers Ray. Yes, many odd balls around there, I keep looking for references and theirs always one more. Thats a heavy read, its amazing how much research is done on just one item.

Thanks Greg. Deeper also means messier background unforch, hard to process with so many stars in the background.
