Very nice Doug. A busy area of sky to image with huge variations of colour and luminance.
I do like the field of view you are getting with the AP reducer.

Great stuff Keep it up.

NB. I would raise the blue on the star field a little but thats me.

Top shot Dougie, as Doug said, a very busy bit of sky, like it very much.

Actively working on a project with a similar field of view too. I like the colouring of the Ha. One of my favourite parts of the sky this region.
