That's a lovely image Carole. I've seen a few close-detail images this week of the Wall and of the interior of the Heart nebula and they're fascinating. Is this a crop or is that the full FOV? Focal length with the reducer is 480mm right?

[carastro]

Thanks Guys.  Full FOV Padraic, all except a bit of stacking artifact cropping which was minimal.

Can I ask.. Why is it called the wall?

It's the diagonal yellowy orange bit that is called the wall.  I have no idea who named it, but guess it's because it is an elongated prominent area of nebulosity.
