For a challenge you should try the Carina Dwarf.

Thanks Steven. Indeed, I recall your efforts on the Carina Dwarf. Pretty cool work. May put it on this list, but don't believe is such a wide field target (could be wrong as I haven't researched its angular size). There's not many galaxies to image at 530mm...SMC, LMC, a few dwarfs... Anyway, thanks for checking it out and making comment. Appreciated.

Cheers Marc! Traditional RGB renditions have their place. Everyone does them, some good, some bad. Few tackle it in narrowband. Its not that easy to get the colours right given its quite dominate in Ha so you see many renditions looking really green. Careful blending of Ha and SII is the key and iteratively through a few layers to get the desired rich hue. Thanks again for your comments.
