I´ve been at it with M45 again. Never happy with this one but I think I´m slowly getting there Battling CA and reflexes while trying to pull out faint data..

Nice image. That's a lot of time you spent on it. Thanks for posting.

For a DSLR, thats pretty good! You seem to have controlled the stars reasonably well too, as they can often run away a bit when youre chasing the outer fluff. The only suggestion I can make is a dash of HLVG, as I'm detecting a very slight whiff of green in there.

Thanks! I did run HLVG but I might have made a round of Selective Colour after that. Sometimes it brings the green back in

Thank you! Yes, a lot of time. Both catching and processing it

Excellent image. Very nice detail  in the nebulosity.

Thanks for sharing.

Great piece of imaging - very well controlled

Nice. You have good extended nebulosity there in a well flattened field.

Thanks Olly! Yes, the field is flat enough but the lens suffers from some CA and the occasional reflexes. That's why I'm drooling over triplet refractors despite having no money for it
