On ya Dave, I usually need a few tries before I am happy..you guys are just unlucky enough to have to endure the journey with me
Astroart is the only camera control, image calibration, pre processing and frame aligning software I have ever used since first using a CCD in mid 2003 (amazing huh?) I am currently using Astroart4. I have found it a very successful program

It is because of the obvious noise that I decided to build my fridge. I hope to do a mosaic in colour (for stars) and HA and O3 (for tendrils) of this region. I have also put your image on mine with Registar to show how vast this SNR is. My images show 7.0 x 4.7 degrees.
Again an image that really shows this faint region beautifully. Well worth any number of repro's.
I would have posted earlier but I had to hunt down this image from my archives.

Great stuff Bert. I was aware that the main SNR was pretty huge not to mention the huge mass of other nebulosity in that area of sky. I look forward to your efforts. Gendler has of course trumped pretty much everyone with his million frame mozaic of the region at long FL, truly masterful work... sheesh and he doesn't even live down here, MAN!

Thanks Marc, the seeing that night was only average but much better than my last trip to Wiruna though
the optics and laser guided like autoguiding from the Tak NJP mount and Astroart4 do help here too of course
