Nice one, Greg! Good detail in the core and showing a lot of the outer shell.
Thanks Rick.

Thanks Tim. I had already decided to image this one before you posted yours just so you know I am not stalking you (no need for an AVO hehe).
Its quite different from yours as its more of a narrowband image. You must have gotten a lot of RGB data and I like that colour in the nebula as well from RGB.
Looks awesome. You have beautifully captured the swirly clouds of ionised gas around the central star.

Thanks for that. Yes it did come out well for the amount of exposure time. The advantage of 17 inch aperture.

Ah thanks Steve. I should've looked that up before I posted it. I'll correct it.

Thanks Louie. I am very happy with this Microline 16 with its 6 micron pixels. I thought it would simply lose sensitivity but even at .43 arc secs image scale the scope and conditions are keeping up with it.

Thanks Peter. I did spend a lot of time processing this and its quite a complex image. You tend to lose perspective when you spend a long time in one sitting. I left it for a while and came back and the original was way too saturated so I corrected that.

Hi Greg,
Yes, it is interesting how the predominant NB data changes the balance of things. I like your rendition.
Cheers,
Tim
You've achieved great depth in the outer OIII shell, showing not just the brighter bits but lots of detail. In the central region, there is an intriguing inverted cone or funnel structure that I always look for. In your image it is immediately above the central star. You've got quite a bit of fine microstructure in the cone. Superb!

Yes the NB data definitely makes a different look. Thanks.

Thanks Mike. I have been surprised at the level of extra resolution the CDK has given with the Microline 16 camera. .43 arc sec is a pretty tight image scale. I know you are imaging at even less at .39. Good seeing becomes very important with those figures.
