Cool image! Both objects came out very well Did you try to remove the gradient?

Here is one tutorial how to do that http://sharmaastronet.ipage.com/PS1.pdf

And another one Image processing: Gradient removal

I usually use the second, it works quite well for galaxies and nebulae with sharp borders...

You got them. I think the green channel is a bit low. There are magentas in place of blues to my eye.

Thanks for the comments. Have tried the gradient removal as suggested thanks IVO and Olly I've upped the green a bit. Just realised that have one trailed sub so will restack. Anyway V2

Hi Jamie,

It is much better

That's a nicely composed image capturing both objects. The owl looks great!

Very nice!

Good work, well done. Not the easiest objects to spot from my light polluted back garden.

Nice image, I like the scale. Will have a try for these visually when higher in sky.
