Thanks Troy. It certainly needs long exposures - probably a couple of hours per filter. I blended SII/Ha/OIII as RGB using PS and then used levels/curves to even up the histograms.

Thanks Dennis. That top right lobe has been the benchmark for me on this object - there is so much going on in that region. It is interesting to compare what is revealed in the NB vs LRGB image.

Thanks Rick. It is another steep learning curve.

Cheers Ross. Just gotta get that guiding working well and the rest is easy!
