Beautifully detailed image showing the full dynamic range of this neb. It sorely tempts me to build a 12" astrograph if this is the result one could get with long experience as you have Paul. I dont think my EQ6 could take it.
How difficult would it be to fit curved spiders to get rid of diffraction spikes? I ask this only because I have a personal dislike for them.
Ken the hourglass neb is what you see in small scopes. Starting off with a 12" dob makes you miss this.
