Your processing skills are a world above most of us.
BEAUTIFULL I wish we could see more of this.

Thanks Doug. A little hit and miss with this one. Didn't mean to talk the image down, but I've certainly acquired better data on these instruments. I think for once, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with processing. After upgrading CCDStack from 1.14 to 1.4 and also PS CS2 to CS4, both considerable differences from the previous version. I resisted heading back into software packages I'm familiar with with exception to MaximDL for the star shaping. With more data to process, it should give me sufficient exposure to make improvements. Thanks again.

Looks quite balanced and natural, nice job

Cheers Mike. It is an interesting target. Something different for long focal lengths. It fits the frame of the 20" with STL11k exceptionally well. Pleased you liked it.

Thanks Mike. Yes, does have brain like characteristics. Not as much as NGC6888 though - which is on my list for next season. Thanks for checking it out and making comment.

Cheers Marc. Not as large as the veil, but rather interesting none the less. The elongation is present - the colour fringes around some of the smaller stars makes this evident. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks all.
