I haven't had the skies to get enough SII or OIII, but here's my interim version (SHH) of IC434. I thought this treatment was interesting.

nice detail in the horse

The blue/grey contrast against the tan/gold veil looks different but I like how it accentuates the clouds and the horse head seems to reveal some finer detail- like it a lot.
Am I right I’m guessing this image is not cropped but the full size generated by the scopes long focal length?
If so is this a dedicated scope for small galaxies rather than large wider field nebulas?
Cheers
