Hi Louie,

Nice capture but as you say the nebula is pushed to the background by the stars.

I just imaged this one myself and it is a bit of a tricky one to get to look just right. The stars in the background can be dominating.

It is very strong in the Ha and comes out beautifully in Ha. How you blend in the Ha to maximise that is another story.

But yes, you'll need Ha and probably 2x2 binning with your MX25C.

The best I have seen of this object is by Ken Crawford and he did narrowband which I suppose pushed the stars back and brought up the
nebula which has some nice delicate arches and tendrils.

Greg.
