Cheers Peter. Pleased you like it. Was one of those images I sat on for a while...kind of mulling over the data, pushing its boundaries until I found something that worked. Still think its a mess though.

Thanks Alex. Go for broke mate. Technically it should be rotated to the right when you look at much wide FOV's. In the good ol'days, imagers use to refer to north as being up for orientation. These days, north could be any direction given instrument rotators and the like. For reference the instrument PA was set to 245.1 degrees. Thanks for your comments.

Cheers Leon. I recall you were giving the area a go too with the FSQ. Keep at it. As seen in Humayan's image, its a great target for DSLR's.

Thanks Alan for your comments. Certainly an interesting area with various targets about. An imagers delight (and challenge).

Thanks Fred. I liken the M20 - it is best suited to higher saturation of hues to do the region justice. There is plenty to see. As with many wide field shots, you start to see other imaging possibilities at longer focal lengths. Pleased you like it.

Just beautiful.

Appreciate the kind word Matty. Thanks mate.

I feel the same about this image as it shows things I/we have never seen.

Absolutely brilliant image Jase!

No, thank you Bert. Without your assistance in providing the scaffold image I doubt the end result would be the same or at the very least the workload would have doubled. I've often thought about purchasing a 135mm lens simply to produce the scaffold images for longer focal length mosaic plans. Perhaps, its cheaper if send you a PM to nail the area for me. Thanks again for your assistance and comments on the image. Appreciated.

Thanks for sharing this one.

Thanks Doug. Still think you should have stuck it out with a mono chip and filters. Yes the workload in producing an image is tripled, but as you say the finished product is what counts. Thanks again for your kind words.

==================

Thanks again all.
