Thanks Greg
With the ParaCorr adding the extra .6 on my F4 system, I am really liking the versatility on many objects.
Still, not a great deal of detail to the gas streamers/ filaments that emanate from the core. The night was around 6/10 for seeing. Had a pretty hot, steamy sort of day, but at least the wind wasn't blowing as is typical for this time of year here.

Thanks Malcolm for the comments.
I actually did a 3 step mask in of the core from some previous data I had taken about three years ago (same scope different camera). With the 4 minute exposures, the core was well blown as is to be expected. In the past I've only maxed exposures to around 50 secs with this object, but this time around I'm going to try and really expose the billowing structure.

Thanks Marc !
I am really enjoying the extra terrain with the new camera that's for sure. It's proving to be a joy to use and seems to suit my setup and uses very well.
Thanks guys for having a look and commenting...
Hopefully finish this soon once I get more lum, some colour then I'll utilise the Ha data I already have...
All the best for now
Rich
