M27 trying harder

Had some trouble before with the faint bit, but some more effort and sub seems to bring a bit of it out. Maybe add more hours?

Really good image, more data never hurt anything.

My only comment would be it looks a little too colour saturated for my taste.

[cotak]

Saturating was the way to get the faint details to separate from the background. I already masked the stars but it still seems to have an impact.

More data might help in that regards.

I am debating if I should go out tonight with the nearly full moon or if it would be a bust trying to get more data on something faint with the moon blazing. Thoughts?

[MarkAR]

If the skies are clear enough to warrant going out then Ha can be done with the full moon, maybe O and S as well.

Don't have a Ha filter this is an OSC image. Thinking about getting the tri-band type filter maybe, or a mono setup.
