has the homunculus / great carina neb combo got to be the widest dynamic range imaged for an astro image? I wonder. I guess it would be a showdown between the homunculus and trapezium.

Hmm well having done both now I guess I should have an opinion. I think the Trap is the hardest between the two. I still look at my image of it and am not quite happy with how the trap looks. It is the same with this image and the homunculus. Both are tough to get right.

I can see the "finger of God " & the " mountain " quite clearly.
That's amazing - is it heavily modified?

No Allan, not heavily modified. Well collimated, good seeing and pretty reasonable guiding. My optics came out of a tube GSO RC which just came straight off the shelf at Bintel. I have spent a lot of time tweaking things. Though as I said to a mate tonight after I collimated his RC10, I could tweak the collimation on my scope now after getting his near perfect. Sharpening techniques also help in the processing too.

Well done.

This palette works pretty well I think Doug. I initially did not like narrow band but now I really like it in this palette. It shows so much more detail.
