This is a work in progress and it needs way more data including some RGB but for now it has some interest. To be honest I am surprised the level of detail given the limited amount of data.
That's looking very promising Paul, and especially with such short exposure. The colours are nice too. So do you intend to blend some RGB in also?
Yes I am going to blend some RGB once I get this data. First off I have to get all the narrow band then I will go for the colour or maybe next run I will get the colour while it is quite low.
Maybe just more time will take care of that problem, but with NB longer exposures are probably needed to overcome the back ground noise level. These are at 10 minutes for each sub. Something to consider of course.
I'd be very happy with that just as it is. What a great field with so much colour and interest everywhere. You really have a great setup and system working now when you can toss off something like this in a couple of hours.
Thanks Graeme for you comments. I think repeatabilty of results is the main thing. Part of that is the mount and part of that is the optical system. Using an OAG has made a huge difference. I went from throwing out the odd sub to not having to through out any at all. So every sub now is used. The mount provides that night after night pointing accuracy and that means collecting more data all the time rather than finding the same spot I was on last time.
That turned out very nice. Great colours and details. How did you get the bi-polar nebula so red? Did you blend in RGB data? It's stongest in Ha although the outer shells are Oiii.
Wow!!! ... How appealing is that and whats more .. Unique .. Ive never seen any images of this .. If i have they definately arent as memorible as this .. Ivenver noticed so many NB images before .. Awesome Paul
Thanks Jeff. I urge you to check out John Hotheralls image of NGC6164. Very nice image that one and part of the reason for me wanting to pursue this object. Chris Venters recent image of NGC6188 is superb too. Thanks all the same. I always appreciate peoples opinions.
My only comment would be to get rid of the green and turn into the nice mustard colours using Photoshop.
Greg.
I personally like the green tones in Hubble palette images. I'd vote for keeping it as it is. Mustard is so mustardy. Don't want the drama of the deep sky lost in a sea of beige.
well mate that is just awesome 
the way it is. gee i wish i could do that sort of stuff, excellent work.
