Awesome
top notch
love the detail in the nebula, sharp edges and smooth nebulosity with beautiful colors. Perfect stars.
Stunner shot
hope it makes its way onto an A3 to display proudly

Tom,

That is one of the grandest astrophotographs I have ever seen.

15 Internets to you, sir.

Regards,
Humayun

I thought it was a PN but was waiting for someone else to say it

To some people I hear from every image I do is a bad one

I think they don't like my processing style. I just keep trying to improve.

.........:r ofl:......

I can see why though Tom, they are jealous so will find fault in your processing to satisfy there ego..?...although it gets kinda pretty boring always saying that's brilliant or that's amazing etc so trashing your work...?....ah yes, might be fun?

God that's a crap image Tom! ......ah yes, that felt good

Apart from Mike's banter about it being terrible, , there is nothing I can add here Tom that hasn't already been said, but I will say it again anyway. Simply a beautiful image of a lovely part of our sky superbly captured and processed.

Many thanks for sharing your chicken feast with us all.

Wayne

I can add something non-constructive...

You're a rotten mongrel. I'm part way through capturing the same object, though at a much longer FL. I started it at least two weeks ago and the skies haven't cleared since...

At least now I have an image to judge my work by, and some extra targets in the near vicinity that I now don't have to look for, I can just use your image as a map.

From the one OIII sub I did, I didn't get anywhere near that amount of OIII, I haven't gotten to SII yet.

I love the image, great work. Five nights though, not sure if I have the patience.

Cheers
Stuart

Try binning your OIII and SII. You will get so much more signal.
