I am hopeful that this will end up something quite reasonable. My intention is to blend it as Ha OIII OIII as a synthetic RGB.

Nice shot.
So what are you going to do when they bring out the planned 12 inch and then the 16 inch? You've got yourself an upgrade path.

Hi Greg and thanks for the kind comments. I did contemplate the larger size RC's from GSO but decided the wait and also the weight would be a problem for me at the moment. A new mount is on the horizon but I doubt I can swing She who must be obeyed to come at a PME like yours. Maybe a Titan is a chance which will allow this and the FSQ to be mounted together. I think this is the best I can hope for.

Glad to see you out there soaking the photons (whenever you get the chance).

Thanks H, A fire ball this big and you may as well kiss your #### goodbye.
Weather is still my biggest hindrence but we all suffer from this.
After looking at Mikes inverted Helix I was suitably impressed so thought I would invert this and see what I had. Inverting the image allowed me to stretch it quite a lot more and the end result was quite stunning. When reinverted it looks bloody awful.
Here is the inverted image.
Thanks Mike (hubble) Sidonio
