Thanks, Rodney! We do spend a fair bit of time on research.

Ta, Mike. I find it amazing how much variation there is between different PNs. Would be interesting to try modelling them in 3D.

Thanks, Steve. I think this one was proposed by team member Scott Johnson.

Honestly though, I would have expected the OIII bow shock to be a bit more smooth at 25hrs integration. Did you do any kind of noise reduction?

Thanks, Joel. Even with ~25 hours on each NB channel there was quite a bit of noise - it's a dim target. I did some very slight nr but tried to leave a little grit. It's possible that my processing emphasised that more than I intended. I'll give it a day or two and decide whether it needs a repro. I try to err on the side of leaving too much noise rather than getting that plastic look.

Thanks, Greg.
