yeah not too shabby for an itty bittty 6 inch scope 
hang on a minute ive only got a 5 inch one now

PS: Whoa!!! 6 nights travelling!!! ... that's stamina ... hat's off!!
PPS: Look forward to the repros!  |
I agree the OIII structure is beautiful, I wasn't able to showcase the starburst detail in the same image as the fine Ha structure without it looking over processed so this is why I did different views. The OIII starburst detail "is" in the Ha SII OIII version but is not noticable rather it just contributes to the overall look.
The close-up is pretty well full res really Marcus..
Why you no like NB? You no have NB filters? When you do then you like
Besides, the colours are good enough for Blanco and Hubble

I always display different views because no one version captures everything really. Re being amateur, trust me, picture a tired 135kg blob packing the car and driving 45min to a dark sky outside his home "coal" town
to set everything up, image for 5 hours or more with just cat naps in the back of the car during sub sets, then packing up and driving home for an hours sleep before work...then imagine doing this 6 nights out of 11 and....you most certainly have an amateur

I think I like the wider field view view the best as it seems to add some depth to the image.
Very nice Well done Mike.

I agree Doug I too like the wider field for the same reasons you do but this is why I always post various versions to present the object in different lights, this is the luxury of not having too much FL but enough to get the detail AND the FOV - as I have mentioed before, this is very versitile.
