I can't say I'm completely happy with this one. It needs to be revisited with more and better data. I also had numerous gradient problems which probably indicates that faint nebulosity is not a good subject for a light polluted backyard. Anyway it's better than the last image I took of it a few years back.
I'm quite enjoying the apparent change in fashion toward (excellent) narrow field images of late...seeing lots of subtle details that are often lost at FL 1000mm (or so) is very cool.

Thanks Peter and yep - I think you're right. It has that slightly washed out appearance suggesting insufficient data though so I definitely plan to go back to it and will correct the colour then.
Nice image Steve. I like the colour and detail. I have been meaning to re-image myself and this is a nice reminder to do so. I had not considered a close up.

Thanks Paul. I still think it needs a lot more data but I tried to do the best I could with what I had. It's probably works better with a shorter focal length.
Thanks guys - glad you liked the image. I think yours looks pretty good too Justin but this is clearly an object for a really long exposure and nice dark sky.
