Mr ed.....
More data is always a good thing....(and if the subject title is a little cryptic for our younger viewers...Mr Ed was an eloquent Sitcom horse  )
Noise tamed reasonably well, but not silky smooth yet....

Thanks
There is actually data from two scopes in the image...which proved to be a challenge to stack, the field curvatures of the two instruments was different.. ie match the centre but not the edge....
For those who are interested, John Gleason has a great body of work done in H-Alpha.... Colour is nice, but B&W has a certain elegance factor...

Very nice Peter. I do agree with you. Color is nice but B&W can make an object look totally different.
Well done.

Verrrrry, very nice Wilbur!!
What was the other instrument? Must have been faster to get that deep for a mere 160min - else you've stretched it pretty hard (or both?). Looks like you've sneaked some Lum in there as well to see that much of the refelection component of 2023 (?)
Bring on the colour! 
Cheers, Marcus

OK, that wouldve been easy for you  , nice to see the verticle streaks, in my twisted mind its a kind of indicator its been done properly  .
Top work

The Ha fairly lights up the HH but also adds a real 3 D perspective to the gas clouds around the nebula.
Lovely photo Peter.

Marcus, so many questions. My AP130 F6 was the main other scope, running at F4.5...but I also layered in just a tad of RC14 data around the Horse (OK, that makes 3 scopes...Mr Ed can count better than me )
No luminance photons were captured or hurt during the making of this image.
Colour? Colour you say? Aye carrumba..

Although, yes, its been done to bluddy death and maaaaany times  ...this is indeed a very nice Ha Horsey Peter The use of different scopes makes me jealous...cause I have only one now  ...although I do have the 80ED guide scope....

But it's such a cool patch of sky..... that I rarely get to image due typical crappy Sydney weather from October through Feb.
Streuth...I haven't even managed to get a half decent M42 as yet... Maybe, one day
