Very nice image.  There are not many nebula's that i can say the image looks like the name.  Definitely looks like a monkeys head.

Yeah. Know the feeling. Always best to leave it until the next day, but before the pub!

Amazing detail for such a short time. Love it.

One thing you may want to check are the flat frames. I made synthetic flat frames with StarTools but still had to lose quite a bit around the edges of the frame.

HTH

EDIT: forgot. Stu, is there a filter? I can't get much if any colour from the stars...

I think it's a very nice image. As Alacant says, there is nice detail for 1.5 hours.

I wasn't aware of this nebula - and what a great name it has - so thanks for drawing my attention to it. If the clouds part then I may give this a shot.

What exposure time were you using?
