It is always rewarding to see the first colour come out of our first DSO image. Good start Paula.

A nebula with more even brightness is easier to capture and process. The Orion nebula really needs multiple different length exposures to over come the very bright centre and still get the outer fainter regions.

The Eta Carina nebula comes to mind as a good starter, still bright but with less extreme areas.

All the best.
