Sorry for the slow response, been away imaging at my dark site.

There does seem however some star elongation on the left hand side of the image. Mainly the blue stars, but not too distracting.

That said if I was judging this image in a contest with other images of the same target I would probably award this image with first place. Very nice work.

Thanks Paul.

I'll check out the star elongation. Perhaps a bit of flex from the setup. Its quite heavy.

After all this I have to say while I still don't exactly love it, I am starting to warm to it a little, it's certainly an interesting alternative view.

I still like the normal LRGB type appearence better on this area but overall though some effort went in to compiling it I know.. so good on you for trying something different..of course what would my eyes know anyway...David Malin may well just love it

Yes narrowband choices are not everyone's cup of tea. Your recent Eta was like that for me but I loved the HaRGB version. Having said that there does seem to be common ground for agreement in narrowband colours that most seem to like and that is the blue, browny, red type pallette.

The NB star fringing is a bit busy and distracting with so many stars, perhaps Ha and rgb mix only stars would look cleaner?

All in all though, an excellent rendition of an overdone area in a totally different fashion.

Thanks Fred. Doing an unusual mix of narrowband isn't going to win a competition but I liked the unusual view it brought to the table.

Greg.
