Maybe needs a mosaic

Doesn't really quite fit so maybe a mosaic next time!! LRGB with some Ha blended into the R and a few adjustments in PS.

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

Lovely image.  Definitely would benefit from a mosaic or a little less focal length.

Cracking image Freddie! How much exposure time was this?

Some lovely detail Freddie, the Ha regions look very natural as the whole galaxy does and not overly processed. obviously this galaxy needs less focal length to fit in the frame but I do like the resolution the longer focal length brings Great Stuff.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Stuart, this was actually relatively quick at ~2hours total; 5x10min L, 4x5min each RGB and 2x10min Ha blended into R

Love the processing Freddie.

Gentle and sweet processing.    You could 'semi-mosaic' it, which is what I did a while back. Keep what you have but do an upper and lower overlapping panel to combine with this.

It seems a shame not to catch the whole galaxy if you're reaching this standard.

Very nice image. Excellent processing with a very natural look. Getting more data so you can frame this great object better certainly seems worth the effort

I love it.  Really nice understated processing.
