Lovely. Nice work Pat.
If you wanted my advice-rich coming from a newbie like me anyway. But it would be all the same from everyone else---- more exposure, and calibration frames. Darks and flats.
By the way - it's a stonkin' M27.
So, darks and flats and more lights basically -which is what we all aspire to. So welcome to the astro-photography world!
Bail out here if wallet not deep or partner understanding!
