A very professional presentation
Thanks for posting

It really begs the question of how much more you could eek out in a head to head comparison if you were to go with your own narrowband data. Maybe that's a comparison for another project?

Ta guys. I don't think, for an object this bright, bortle 7 skies have much of an effect.
Being just 120m above sea level however...maybe I should spruik it as Australia's lowest observatory!

I do however wonder how this 'scope would perform in the Andes....

I may indeed try a Ha OIII and SII set (an NII filter, as used in the HST image is not in my arsenal).

As the Donald used to say: "we'll see what happens..."
