Hi everyone

I don't usually as my patience gets the better of me, but this one I left most of the night. Processing similarly. If it takes more than 1/2 hour, give up, and anyway, my gf doesn't allow it!
I hate smoothing/denoise so am wondering how many more nights I'm going to need to be able to fit into my 30 minute (sic) post timeslot...

Thanks for looking and do share your experience if you've had a go at this.

Nice rendition. Probably one of my favourite targets and also not, as I can never truly get that sharp dust separation from it.

I like the colour of the image and, for me, the diffraction spikes really add to it.

I had a pop at Iris the end of August, Love the target, but i find it a pain to get the dust to come out, didn't help with the poor weather, so probably need a lot more data.
