Considering how faint this nebula is you have done a magnificant job here. Good resolution in the inner rim. It looks a tad out of focus but it could just be the noise associated with capturing this faint object. Great capture! Not many capture this amount of detail for 2 hours woth.

It is a little dark, but in the big picture it is a very detailed shot.
What are the details of the image Frank?

Thanks guys,
The focus issue could be a bit of blooming from processing too.
David, the frames are from a Canon EOS 20Da, ISO 800 mainly around 10 min shots
stacked in Depskystacker and mangled up with PS

That looks really good to me - as good as many amateur setups have managed imho. Good stuff!

That's not an easy target to image and I think you have done a great job with it Frank. Tracking is spot on and focus looks good to me.

Very nice.

Although a bit dark, it's a very nice image Frank. The 14" aperture is resolving the inner detail.

Thanks.

Great image Frank. Maybe a bit dark but a repro can always fix a small problem like this.

Detail looks very nice.

Well done.
