Almost not worth posting the low res IIS attachment as it must be looked at much larger than that. The big versions you posted are excellent.

Thanks Mike. Yeah it seems that you can only fit that many stars in 200kb I'm also slowly becoming more aware of the right resolution to post the "big" shots too rather than 1:1 with all the gritty details

Thanks Daniel. Glad you liked it. I'm a big fan of your work latest work.

Thanks David. You'll be there in no time with your ED. Once you've found that sweet spot for the FF, set and forget. Have fun.

What camera did you use? And subs?

Thanks Mike. I use the QHY8 OSC. The Orion ED80 with the WO P-flatIV set at 66mm and an additional spacing of 47.20mm. I shot 60x2min subs for each panels. No filters. Just a clear UV/IR cut.

PS - thanks for posting the PP technique too. Filed that one away, yoink!

Thanks Troy. Go the ED80!

Thanks Rolf. Glad you like the processing. It was tedious for me as I have only 2GB of RAM and 120 subs to debayer and align/stack in each channel. So I'm glad it's over.

Thanks Paul. Glad you liked the process tip too. Eta would be a good candidate because RGB shots of it are swamped with stars and there's so much details in Ha. I'd be interested to see the results on your pics. You just need to make sure you co-register the Ha on the RGB. I used registar for that.
