Thanks for the nice comments all.

It has always been my aim to image the very dim stuff. This means maximising signal to noise.

Narrow band for long exposures can show detail that just is not visible in conventional RGB images. That being said I see my wide field images as a large map of destinations to go to for people with longer focal lengths and to be assured of a result with long and painful many exposures.

I suppose we all do this imaging because we want to see what has never seen before.

It keeps me relatively sane.

This is a very deep image. The resolution is not that great compared to telescopes of longer focal length.

Never mind the quality feel the width.

It is my humble opinion that it shows areas of gas emissions that have never been seen before in such clarity.

This quest will never end. Bert
