Wonderful image Mike! Lovely processing.

I don't know how you guys find these things. I have enough trouble finding the Lagoon Nebula!

Kudos for educating us Mike - haven't seen that one before. Great pic.
Indeed, a Tron Light Disc

That's a great image Mike. How do you find these gems ? Looks like you got the correct balance of deconvolution to get the Tron effect.

Cheers Rob

Cheers Rob yeah I am happy with the application of the decon I get on nebula and galaxy details (ie it stays real IMnot soHO ) buuuut I still haven't mastered a way to get it to look good on most of the stars, at least not using the decon feature in Astroart anyway ... so, I don't apply it to the stars.

I love the little flecks of ha throughout the nebula. Nice and deep to show the outer parts too.

Thats an absolute cracker Mike, youve supprised me with this tiny one, a fair bit more impressive than I wouldve expected . Most excellent in many ways.

I have a great memory for many objects and how they look in an image and I can tell you, with only a few exceptions, the 24 inch under truly dark skies was showing pretty much everything that appeared in most images I'd taken through 3", 5", 6" and 12" scopes over the years, just without the colour

Mike
Now that would have been an experience to remember. I love visual observing but like you say, unless your scope is big enough you just don't see the amount of detail you want to. Would be interesting to have a look at this one in the 24" and compare to your image.

Cheers Scott, have you had a crack at this one with your corneal guided Samson mounted baby? How you travelling mate, feeling any better?

EDIT: Ok, I just read your update in the General Chat, good news, I wish you continued recovery Scotty.

Thanks Fred ... truth be known, I did think of you while processing this little sucker, fondly recalling that narrow field postage stamp imaging phase you went through on theses sort of targets a few years ago

Glad you liked the image (of NGC 6337)

Mate, it was the best few hrs I have ever spent at a scope, was only tiredness that caused me to finish.

Key Mike, that is one I can't remember every observing. Might be just the thing I need to get off my A*S and get out under the stars. Beautiful capture mate.

Cheers Rod, yeah get it into you, I looked at it through the 12" Skywatcher dob while I was imaging it, a nice little fruit loop
