Flip flopping on how much contrast to draw from this Ha image. I think it should probably still be swirling and luminous with the detail present, but the higher contrast image makes the detail more obvious, if a little ‘etched’…
Anyway, glad to have the scope out again after a lot of time under clouds and being busy with life…
Note: Have redone both to keep the core region a bit brighter, although the sharper version has less of this aspect
