Will probably leave this now 


 


In total I have captured over 8hrs of Ha and over 5hrs of both SII and OII 


 


The image  originally and the Ha in the green channel (Hubble palette ) very green. Added the Ha channel as a Lum channel and dulls the green but increases detail 


 


Thanks for looking  :blush:

Wow! Love the definition in the Bok globules and dark dust filaments mainly in the bottom right quadrant :thumbsup:

18 hours of data! You must have had numerous different sessions on that!

Imagine if we could see something as spectacular as that visually. That nebula is big, the field of view in that image is nearly 2 degrees (4 moon diameters)! :)

Here is how it might look visually from a really dark site with an 8" scope...

Looks amazing Allan, that extra layer of ha in the luminance channel has given it a nice polished look.

Certainty a keeper.
