I did this a few months ago and forgot to post it up.

One of my longest integration time I have ever done on a object. But my 16 core, 64gb RAM computer took bit over 3hrs to combine 2143 subs.

Telescope used is FLT 91 with 0.8x reducer
Camera ZWO 1600mm

LUM - 655 x 30s
RED - 439 x 30s
GRN - 507 x 30s
BLU - 490 x 30s
HA - 31 x 600s

Looks like great data as return on your hard work Ben. Must have been exciting to see it coming together once your PC finally spat out the Master frame

Thanks Rob,

It did take quite a bit of time. But when it turned out I got some very nice details.

I have uploaded some close up images.

Wow that's great detail and lovely colour! Huge effort handling that much data. Well done!

Thanks Mike

I was quite surprised that my FLT91 could get some of the nicer finer details from the reflection nebula. I know the nebula didn't have much HA, but it did help bring out some HA around the core.
