To be honest I prefer to view a really good clean luminance or mono version especially when it’s a nice bright emission nebula
Well done indeed !!

Thanks guys, The QHY makes it much easier to get within the backfocus of the AFFR...a sublime piece of glass...
but not overly generous in its backfocus, hence I've not used it much with previous imaging.

It turns my 16" F8 into a 16" F6 hence a 40 minute session returns very clean data. Also with a 100mm instrument fitting there is simply no sag or tilt.
Star profiles are pristine to they very edge of the IMX455 field... a sensor that takes no prisoners in that regard...so I'm pretty happy with the result
