It is an odd object and also rather faint.

I like that smokey look of the nebulosity, it gives a 3D feel to the image.
Looks like you have similar reflections on your brighter stars as I do, albeit that yours are a little more diffuse than mine. There are large halos around those stars and I am assuming this is reflections?? Do you think your sub lengths influenced the size of those halos?
Interesting object and one that I will have to take a look at sometime in the future. Thanks for posting.

Yeah those halos, I don't think they are reflections I think there was a bit of high cloud when I did the rgb shooting. There was one night where there was a bit of high cloud around for a while. Its not in all the subs only some. I didn't notice getting reflection halos at all with this setup.
There may be some bloat that comes from the fast scope and the small wells but even then I didn't really notice much. I think that occurs more with my TEC180 and the fact its both fast and large aperture.
By the way Paul I got red ringing on the brighter stars in the initial colour combine. I checked the FWHM values on the same star in all masters and the red was bloated for some reason. Perhaps the seeing was bad for a bit. I did deconvolution 30 iterations, positive constraint only on the red and it brought the FWHM slightly under the others. I did a new combine and no red ringing so that technique works well.
