Hi all
many thanks.
Heres a reprocessed version, where instead of deep Sky Stacker I used Iris software, a much less automated process, but it brings out more blues and greens.

Mark Sutching can take credit too, he made the pyrex full thickness mirror in my 10 inch scope. The fine quartz overcoated aluminizing by Isacc completes the deal. Its rare that seeing allows its true diffraction limited performance to happen, particularily when imaging, but its very nice when it does
