Top marks for sure!

Cheers Gary. I'm pleased the way the image has turned out. Took a while to strike the right Ha+R blend. Sometimes it was too strong, while other times too weak. Will settle for this rendition in the mean time. Thanks again.

Thanks Craig.
This is actually a perfect region to capture at 400mm as you'll get the entire Christmas tree region. The cone is relatively small in comparison.

Thanks Marc. Perhaps a little too smooth, but not too much data to work with left me with only one resort. It was heavily masked to manage the delicate details around stars and the cone. Pleased you like it.

The star size/artifacts and softness doesnt equate with the hi res ABG cam/quality OTA used methinks. Again, the overall classic "feel" is excellent, familiar, but one might expect a little more technical precision given the rig.

Don't do a Mike on me Fred.
Fat stars?
Its an open cluster which deserves some attention. Look at the resolution my friend.
How about the triplet beside GSC750:1767 (attached below). Fat stars would have consumed these. In all seriousness, appreciate the comments and of course pleased you like the classic feel.
