Hi Doug,
nice to see the all most full extent of this neb complex.
The full res version to me appears over sharpened though.??
I know I've over done sharpening in the past to compensate for soft seeing conditions... it can be a bit of a trap. I tend to think when stars become harsh and stark, looking like an aboriginal dot painting, it's time to back it off.
Of the two posted to the forum, I probably like the second one best because of the brownish dust, making some star areas a golden colour.
Good effort though considering your conditions.
BTW, love those Taka Q's... they produce some of the nicest semi wide images around, especially with to days large chips sizes.
All the best
Rich
