I understand your point Alex and a long while ago we had a discussion on here about that very same thing.
It's a personal thing of course, but to me the rule of thirds just doesn't seem to work on astro images unless there's more than one object in the frame and that you can balance it so.

I just think that a single main object being offset on a starry background isn't as pleasing.
It usually works for terrestrial but not for astro IMO.
With astro I like to see the main point of interest in the centre of a starry sky.
For some reason it feels more precise to me.

Nice one Paul.

This object is brightest in O111 though so capturing some O111 would add a new dimension.

Greg.

What a beautiful object and complex shape. The "bubble" structure is very easy to see, so much so that it looks almost like a huge jellyfish.

Lovely processing too Paul. I like your colours better than some others I've seen for this target. You must hang a mounted copy of this on the wall somewhere.

That really is a spectacular image, you've really outdone yourself this time Paul.

What a shame you vowed to never enter the David Malin awards again Pauli surely you wouldn't give him "another" chance to redeem himself?
