Thanks! No narrowband, all just the little Nikon. Its colour rendition isn't great, unfortunately. I've tried with vastly superior full-frame Nikons and the difference is dramatic, but I need the extra magnification - sorry, sorry, crop factor (don't want to get sucked back into that pointless debate) - so yeah the colours are often a bit weird. I like it in this instance though!

Are there people on this forum doing it for any other reason than that??? That's literally exactly why I do it! Well, that and the wonderful feeling I get thinking about a star that's 100 times the size and five million times the brightness of our feeble little Sun, and how it'll explode one day and burn brighter than the combined light of the other 100,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy.
