That's about as good as it gets with a DSLR

Maybe time to consider the next step ......LRGB and a mono CCD?

Very, very cool, Doug. Love the H-alpha rendition.

This is such a hard object to process. Much like NGC 6188, it has been my bane. Perhaps next season.

Cheers H - I like the Ha version of this too...it manages to bring out all that lovely criss-cross pattern on one of the 'pads' of the paw!

Very nicely done Doug!
You've done a great job with the blending and like the way the Ha/ red mix has a nice glow that is not over done.

Thanks Rich - went with the Gendler 20-30% Ha/Red as R channel method for this image.
