Hey there Mikie!
Thanks mate... I think you are right, there is quite a bit of OIII element to this torus shaped object. The star at its centre is a possible Wolf Rayet type star.
I'm interested to see how much blue will come through with the rose shaped object in the neb to the left of centre.
Yeah I know you had your lappy flogged.... have you bought a new one yet?
Any ho Mike, I hope you can get out asap.... don't think there'd be any plaster left on your walls at home from climbing every one.... you is a man of much patience...

I start having withdrawals when I don't see stars for more than a week...

Thanks Steve!
Been good since I've had the OAG happening. I can now really push exposures which is great to bring out extra things I haven't seen before. Especially beneficial for HII.
Yeah I know, this time of year can be real trying.... but I'm sure, every year is getting worse... I remember when I first started into just visual observing.. almost twenty years back.... it seemed like just a couple or a few days per week were not so good, the rest were clear.
Chin up.... we must stay positive

Thanks Rick!
Certainly is a very interesting area... don't think I've bagged so many objects in one image before.... still I haven't spent enough time in this area...
Cheers guys...
Hoping the sky will clear to get some colour before the moon .....

Keep on praying chaps...

...

for this shizen to take a hike..
All the best
