That's a really nice colour rendition, not overly saturated.

Thank you, I cant seem to push the data as far as i would like due to the background going splogy!

Did you do it starless? Sometimes you can stretch, then apply NR and stretch some more.

Hi, yep did it starless, have stretched and pulled several ways but the back gound just seems to go south. will have another play tomorrow, think I have had it with it today.

It's a fairly challenging target, so I think you've done remarkably well with 5 hours of data with a OSC and dual NB filter.  I dont think you could push it any more without it falling apart.

Thank you. The only reason I picked it was because I had seen a few realy good pics of it on this site and was looking for someting a bit different.
