Appreciate that Frank
Your C14 has wonderful resolution though. I'll tell the wife I need a big SCT AND my Newt to do justice to my next object!
(wish the budget allowed!)

Thanks Marco - I wanted to sharpen up detail in the Ha, and that also required fairly aggressive noise treatment. Much of the blur is also inherent limitation of the scope I think - I'm cropped in way past what I would normally blow up for such a relatively large image format, so there actually isn't too much jpg artifact in the end.
Just for interest, this was the best I could do with LRGB (no Ha) - probably oversaturated, but haven't bothered to backtrack.
Also shown, version before original pic - slightly less emphasis on outer halo and bit more centre sharpening....
