Hi, this will be my first topic at DSO, and also my first completed image from Narrowband. Frames taken in bortle 6 in Poland. About 4h in Ha and 4h in OIII. Im still learning and tries to make my own workflow.

All comments are welcome

That really is a fine image. Very well done indeed.

Superb detail, really does look 3-dimensional which of course it is.

One thing I wonder about these late-stage star-forming nebulae, does the oxygen concentrate in the middle because it's more massive than hydrogen and less easily expelled by stellar winds?

That is a lovely result - I particularly like the detail in those thin white-grey wispy tendrils at bottom centre.

I like it a lot and agree with everything said. In addition, I am impressed by the stars - you have avoided the dark rings around them that is often seen in NB images when the star sizes differ between the colour channels. Apparently you managed to match the star sizes perfectly.

That really is a very fine image indeed, love the definition in the string of Bok globules along the lower edge.

I think  it's because the [OIII] line, coming from doubly ionised oxygen needs higher energy UV than the singly ionised HII or [SII] lines.

Lovely image you have taken there.
