"Thor's Other Helmet" as Fred calls it looks sharp and deep. The globular at the bottom of the image adds lots of interest (it's out of field for us).

thanks very much - appreciated

thanks Colin. binning did no damage, but improved the SNR by a noticeable amount.

Thanks Rick. I am incompetent at this, so tried to keep colour as close to a variety of broadband images as I could - maybe with limited success. Will have another look at reducing the red a bit.

Wonderful.

Greg.

thanks Greg. taking the sampling down to ~1.6 arcsec sure makes the stars look nice and small doesn't it?

thanks Glen. the spikes are there, but not very pronounced in NB, especially with binning.
