Many thanks Barbara and David. BTW that's a beautiful observatory on your website. Plenty of other targets within your range

well done, i might have made the red channel less saturated and layered that in around the galaxy before noise removal.... something to play with.
cheers clive.

Thanks Clive. As a DSLR user I haven't tried isolating individual colours, but will have to have a play as you suggest. I usually image with a pollution filter in place so that also through me off with inital colour balancing....

Thanks Carl - I really thought I'd left it too late. I got a real buzz out of this one when I saw just how much detail was hiding in there. One more 5 min frame I didn't use was REALLY in the soup. There's times I wish I had the extra 10 degrees odd latitude you enjoy up there - for M31 etc!!
