NGC2170

I decided on one last challenge before my POD goes and for some unknown reason i went with NGC2170 the Angel Nebula. Its too low which when combined with persistent high cloud made life challenging. I have tried to stick to fairly neutral processing but that's not for me to judge. Taken from my triple rig over a couple of evenings in late January, this is 147 x 300" L, 19 x 300" R, 24 x 300" G, 26 x 300" B. I really could have done with more RGB but work and moon conspired against me.

thanks for looking

Never seen that before, a lovely capture there in my opinion and low for you, I'm about 11-12 degrees better off so maybe one for me to have a go at.

Great image, it's not an easy target and it's very low in the UK. 

I managed to get it a year or so ago from East Sussex, but I still need more data as it's quite noisy, but getting to a dark site at the right time of year where I see in the south is not easy.

Only comment, I wonder if you can manage to reduce the star sizes a bit.

Thanks for the comments. 
Alan, it is a lovely object and my image doesn’t even come close to doing it justice. I underestimated the RGB importance and have lost out with the surrounding dust. Maybe I will get a chance to add some more, maybe not, but this one I would like to get in close. 
Carole, thank you, those large stars gave me a lot of trouble and in the end I just stuck with them as I lost more than I gained.
