Thanks Peter, narrowband is certainly one area that I enjoy imaging in.

Thanks Jase I appreciate your tips and comments and shall have a look at the black points in the blue and green channels.

Mike

Thanks Mike, I appreciate your coments. this one was processed on the laptop with an LCD monitor but I usually use the tower computer which has a CRT monitor.

Very well done.

When did you take these images?

thanks Matt, I glad you enjoyed it. I took this one in late July. I was just starting to appear at the end of a imaging run. I thought seeing as I was already setup I might as well have a go.


Once again thanks to everyone, sometimes I'm very critical of my images as to there worthiness to post. I think that maybe I should post them more often and let the members of this forum be the judges.

Cheers all
