I believe I can see what you mean about the seeing, the full res close up is nice but it does look a bit blurry. Do you know what FWHM's you get on a regular basis, and what can you expect in Canberra?
This is one that I'd like to image as well, it's an incredibly bright nebula and surprisingly a bit overlooked. I'm working on a couple of other images at the moment though, so it might have to wait until next season.

Thanks Rolf
Arggg the seeing, the seeing, where for art thou seeing
Totally agree with you, I like the 75% version best too, starts to break down after that, nearly didn't post the 100% res version but hey, seeing is somthing indelibly attached to what we do, mine's just nearly indelible ink
FWHM...? don't really look at that, just the amount of real time star dancing around on the screen in both the main scope and the guide scope
We look to have a rural rental property secured at 730m ASL for 6-12 months in dark skies outside Canberra, compared to middle of a city at sea level on the East coast of Australia... so here's hoping

Your scope just reveals everything. It would be an amazing instrument at a dark site with good seeing. Even without that you are producing stunning images.

Cheers Greg, yes it is a remarkable instrument, only really in 2nd gear at the moment too
Yes, if I can get her to experience good seeing

- look out
