A bit about editing:
The M27 I had to make 3 different pictures. (Background, shield around core, and core)
The core is edited as a SHO mix Red = (50% SII and HA) Green = (20% HA and 80% OIII) Blue = 100% OIII. SII I have only used in the core itself to get some more details.
The background is traditional RGB, but I've used ha as Lum for too take down some noise.
the shield around the core is edited as HHOO. Lum and R = HA and G and B = OIII.
All 3 images are then edited separately, so I mix this together using difrent mask.
The entire edit was done in Pixinsight in its entirety, except for some masks that I had to draw manually.

Lovely detail, especially in the outer part of the nebula. I've not noticed that scalloped edge down the right hand edge before! Your image of M27 has a real three dimensional feel to it.

I made a whole new version because I had lost a lot of OIII signals in the processing.
I think this one got better.

Good work Skarpen, they just get better and better, but then you know that 😁.  I do like a nice M27, many thanks.

I am fairly sure that is the best M27 I have seen, It was about the 1st target I ever shot with my 12 inch SC, not as good as this I must add.

stunning work.

That's superb! ‼️

I make that nearly 32 hours total integration time! How many hours processing Ola?

About 7-8 hours☺️

Difficult to say which version I like better, but if the second had just a few less red stars it would be my favourite for sure. Anyway, both versions are excellent!
