Nice to see you again. Don't leave it so long next time!

Thanks Mike! Will try hang around for a while. Sad, but don't get much time to contribute. Back OS in a couple of weeks...but still using my own remote observatory and that of others whilst abroad so I'm still able to image anywhere!

Cheers Fred. Its a case of dare to be different. Same objects get a bit dull after a while unless you can present them in a new light. Good to see you still hit those 'off-limit' targets too. Yes, Thackeray's presented some challenges. Whilst I wanted to emphasise star colours, not always easy to achieve with Ha blends, the halo's got the better of me. Strangely, it grows on you after a while...kinda like a starless lagoon.

cheers Gary

Thanks Gary! Indeed, I paid special attention to the globules as I ultimately wanted this as the key focus surrounded by an even distribution of nebulosity on both sides. Symmetry if you will. Composition can make or break. Interesting you mention M78 as to me, this is the one I don't like out of the three. Lacks punch in my opinion. Only basic RGB data was acquired on this one and it wasn't the best I'd worked with that's for sure. Only so far that you can push a synthetic luminance. Thanks again.

Perfect processing too

Marco

Thanks Marco. Still refining the long focal length processing routine, but it appears to be working ok. These should be on your target list given your remote obs in AU.
