Thanks Colin. At first I thought it might be a bit red but after reading that there is a lot of inter-stellar dust in the way which knocks out nearly all the blue and green information I was happy to leave it "au naturale!"

I've about 7hrs of data on this object over the last couple of outings to Leyburn, but am probably going to redo my RGB captures - couple of misalignment issues.

Thanks David for the compliment. One day I hope to get up to Leyburn and have a go imaging from under dark skies... one day...

Thanks Jeanette! There are some nifty little modules in StarTools and some others in the G'MIC plugin for Gimp which can really tease out the detail. It's like watching a fog lift when things sharpen up sometimes!!

You should be proud.

Ross.

Ross, thanks for your thoughts. When you see the standard of the work produced on this forum I just sit back in awe, however I am happy with my setup and what I'm able to achieve lately from my backyard. So yes I am proud!!

Thanks Kevin - the Baader UHC-S filter works a treat in reducing the LP down to a manageable level. I'd be lost without it!
