Thanks Narayan.
Agree the 2400x1800 loses much of the resolution. This is actually a crop of the full frame which is 4008x2672. If I had of resized the original I could have possibly gone with 3000x2400.

Oh my gosh I can't believe how many background galaxies you've captured and I love the fine wispy outer arm and gorgeous colours.
Stunning work mate.

Perhaps by 10 +/- arcseconds
. Thanks for the comments Andrew.
It is a pleasure to capture this object at a long focal length.

We agree the background galaxies and the crescent wisp makes this a very special image |
Cheers Barb and David.
I'd say its a keeper. Also, I look forward to seeing your imaging output on the new mount - congrats.

Incredible detail and colour.

Cheers Mike. The wispy outer shell came from the Ha data. Though was hoping I'd get more from this channel. As I mentioned the luminance info was rather weak. Also some dithering issues didn't clean the noise as I would have hoped - though think this is a limitation of the set up considering I was also guiding at the same focal length. Can move the guidestar too far otherwise it will miss the guide chip all together. Thanks again.

Thanks Houghy.
Pleased you like it. The version displayed is the fourth rendition of processing. Just wasn't happy with the first three as I tried different blending options of the lum and ha data. Not perfect, but then again what is? Cheers.
Thank you again for all the comments.
