My last Eta for the season

My last, and hopefully most aesthetically pleasing attempt at
this popular target for this season. I have deliberately muted
the fainter parts of the nebula in order to sharpen the edges
of the main body. Not to everyone's taste perhaps.
Can anyone tell me why two of my corners are clipped?

Camera adapter or focuser? Are you using 2" gear throughout? It's a sharp clip rather than a soft one suggesting the obstruction is near the focal plane end.

It's actually quite strange, as the T-ring screws directly into the
female thread on the focuser that is revealed when the 1.25" eyepiece
holder is unscrewed. It's even stranger because this has just happened, and yet I always use the same setup.

Looks pretty nice ray.
Regarding the clipped edges, the edges look like straight lines. Could it be something in dss?

Hi Kosh, I'm glad you mentioned DSS because recently I got a dialogue box came up in DSS which said "out of memory". Maybe that's something to do with it. Thanks.
