Your fast scope seems to have picked up a river inside the river of Ha. Like a slightly golder orangy nebula in the middle of the stream. Also a slight golden glow at the edge of the dark tower.

Your stars are nice and bright and colourful.

A very nice image.

Greg.
Cheers Greg

Some work to do, but going on the results and experiences of others with these fast newts and big cameras, it is able to be nailed down so I have faith

My only small critique (and maybe this is personal preference), is I don't much like the bold reflection halos around the bright stars.

Thanks Marcus

Yes I'm still improving

As for the Halos...nuttin I can do about that mate ..It's all about compromise I guess, besides...it's like I have my very own little UK Schmidt camera!
