Cheers heaps Lee, yes, a very small target indeed.

Your image compares very well.

Did you attempt to use 3 x drizzle?
If not there could be some more detail to be extracted!
I know for sure it helps on such a small target.

Well Allan, a careful comparison shows essentially little difference in nebula resolution or depth between our images, (I have revealed a little more inside the inner ring perhaps?), other than they seem to have accentuated the very outer extended diffuse Ha halo a little more..? and I like their stars. I used no decon on my stars either, I only apply it to the nebulosity, sadly even after 13 years of using Astroart, I haven't mastered applying its decon filter to stars with a satisfactory outcome ...and I use no other image processing software other than PSCS3+

As for drizzle...well, to be honest, no idea about that, should look into it.

Mike
