It's a beautiful sight in mono I agree, but the temptation to add some colour just overwhelmed me..

Lovely image Nick, the trunk looks its best in NB

Nice detailed image Nick. I like the transition from blue to green as you go down the image

[NickH]

Thank you everyone... nice to image with the obsy, with all this appalling weather, and just let it get on with its thing... This was almost totally automated, Art Capture sequence run with the USB wheel...

Nick, what do you do regarding focus, do you need to re-focus much with your set up after swapping filters? or do you have autofocus?

[NickH]

motor focus and parfocal filters

I like Large nebulous objects in Mono too, but when colour is introduced and compliments areas of subtle difference, then bring it on. I like this one a lot.
