Nice shot, Ken. Still a bit of detail hiding there, but plenty is evident.

Thanks Carl, you're right, there's probably more detail in the image. Sometimes it's hard to know when to stop when processing. I often think I've got everything out of the image but when you reopen it the next day obvious faults stare out at you.

Hi Ken,

Great object and nicely imaged. Good to see the orion mak newt getting a work out again.

Cheers

Thanks Greg, there's plenty of nice objects around this area. David, received your reprocessed image, looks good, a bit more faint detail visible, also your M17 looks good. A H alpha filter would sharpen up the detail nicely.
