Gee thanks Jase. The reducer really makes the difference with the CDK and my local seeing conditions and the pixel size of my cameras.
Having used it for a while now you get to know it and see what works best with it. I also spent a long time on the processing. There were many many versions (20?) before I was happy.

NGC 6590 contains a double star (mag 11.0 +11.1 @ 19.8") and this reflection nebula is an easy visual object.

Thanks Glen. I imagine those blue reflections nebs contain stars that must be mega powerful to light it up like that.
