Yeah the collimation and rotation can annoy but a quick band aid could fix it - the main part I think (the extent of the Ha and detail in it) is fantastic.

Aaaaah - can you hear my lust for aperture

Thanks Mark. No doubt the hyperstar is a light bucket.

Actually it is interesting that we have the same FOV... but I need to use a dinner plate sized sensor to get it all in

Nice job Marc

Thanks Mike. Yeah I saw your shot on your site. Terrific work.

Agreed. I could have presented it a alot better. I was more concerned with the field. I didn't deconv but I did try to remove sky noise due to moon glow and that probably did it along with JPEG artefacts. There's a clearer version here although still affected by sky glow but less compressed.
