Thanks one and all for your kind feedback. I've reprocessed the image now with more contrast...same URL.

I should have noted the bulk of the data was captured just 3 days shy of the full moon...which goes to show how unaffected NB is to skyglow.

Hopefully the Met bureau's forecast will not be so bleak and allow some colour soon.

P.S. I still think it should be called the slam dunk nebula
