Both excellent examples Greg.

The stars are tighter in the new version with less obvious reflection halos but the fine detail is more delineated in the combined effort.

One thing to watch though is the transition from dust to space, at the outer edge of the dust this transition looks a little abrupt, otherwise top effort, that scope is really performing on this target for sure.

Incidentaly, the new low reflection Astronomiks are superb. I have now taken 10 images with them, both broadband and narrow band and I have not seen a single out of field star reflection nor any large halos around stars, the out of field star rays were quite a worry before as they appeared in lots of my images, so I am very happy about this seeming to be a thing of the past (fingers crossed).
