Very nice indeed and always a nice to see those DSOs in constellations that we don't see her in Blighty. Great colour in the nebula and surrounding stars.

Lovely colourful image.

That's a gorgeous image. It really bears some magnification too - there's lovely detail in the lace-like part of the nebula. I'd never even heard of this object before! Well done.

I like the coloration, with the splash of red at the top and the blue getting whispier as it goes over to the right. I presume the VSR is over to the right as well?
