Incredible and beautiful. I especially like the jet at lower right. It seems to reach almost to the centre WD. Well done mate!

[AstroNebulee]

Beautiful details, what an amazing image. Love the clouds of gas on the lower portion, so much depth to it. 

Well done 👏

nOT wishing to sound negative And I am far from an expert. But don't you thinnk Another 10 hours to a near perfect image is just overkill. 

I reckon less data and toned down processing will get you there.

It is already a beautiful image.

It’s all about the angel wings though. Core is super bright so that won’t change much. It’s the outer feint detail I want more of. Takes a while at f7.
