Here is a full RGB version. Still needs some hours. Maybe luminance ( my sky limits me to 60 sec though. Not sure it’s worth it. May be Ha/OIII

No problem Rodd, it was in the Observing section, should get more useful comment where it is now 👍

I thought I needed much more data, but now I am not sure.  I have put allot of effort into making as much out of the data as I can on aacount of poor weather.  Here is the final Image.  Do you think luminance will help?  I only took about half as much blue as the other channels, but I dont think its blue deficient, and the blue is not overly noisy.  Seeing was poor for the blue, but I dont think it hurt it too much.  I could collect Ha/OIII, but not sure I want to go in that direction.  Luminance or bust, I think.  Wiould it be worth spedning 5-6 hours collecting luminance, or leave well enouggh alone, the law of diminishing returns and all.

Are you sure Rodd?!?

The brown dust looks phenomenal, I really like this region in particular.

Thanks , Doc and No! I’m not sure. Normally it would be easy to do it and if it didn’t help much…..”oh well”.  But seeing as I get only a few nights a month to image, and even less for broad band, I hate to lose a night (or two) on a fools errand.
