Thanks for the likes. 🤗 Would anyone like to comment on whether it looks too overprocessed, or the colour saturation is too high. Some of the bright stars have some odd looking flaring but I think it's due to reflections off the nearby dust. The odd shape bright star to the bottom-right of vdB152 is a double star. The blue 'halo' surrounding it, is I believe primarily due to dust reflections. 🙂 Alan -

We’ve pretty much settled on a 10” Dob for Monica, and of the readily available scopes State side the 10” Orion SkyQuest seems the best choice. I’ll likely wrap up my research in the next couple of days and place my order later in the week. -
