Thanks, Kevin. We'd love to have an expert explanation for what's going on.

I know cropping for aesthetics ain't yer thang guys but...it might be a cool image cropped to remove the bit of the swan below..? It's almost like you have discovered a new nebula

Thanks muchly Mike. We can certainly see that the picture would make more sense artistically if we cropped off the Swan. We also wonder about a mosaic. We're half-way.

Thanks, Scott. We should get off our bums and work out the actual SII to H-alpha ratios for the two regions, make sure that processing and leaky filters aren't to blame. Don't think so.

Cheers, Rodney. The polar bear is there too, but more so in just the H-alpha image.
