A great data set and just in time before the big Atlantic depressions begin to hit Spain - hopefully not! The subs were 600 seconds in exposure length, and I used 18 x Ha, 36 x O3 and 65 x S2, plus 20 Has at 900 seconds each. This makes for an amazing integration time of 24 hours and 50 minutes! Pier 12 uses an 12.5 inch F/9 Ritchey Chretien telescope from RCOS. Thanks everyone. Simon Below is (i) the traditional orientation for the nebula, (ii) the second one is the 'weary wizard' because he is laying down, and (iii) a starless version which I decided to make as part of this.

Hi Simon,  That's extremely impressive! You must have processed that in record time. To put it in perspective I spent many days reprocessing and reprocessing repeatedly, and probably ended up with something that wasn't noticeably different to my earlier attempts.   Those nice stars with a decent amount of colour really makes it a much more balanced picture. I cropped a lot off the left hand side because it was very bland with a sprinkling of white stars. I intend to revisit this some time, but after spending so much time already my enthusiasm hit a brick wall. I'm sure you mentioned that yourself.  Cheers and keep up the good work,  Ray
