[arad85]

Lovely nick... so much detail...

[NickH]

Quick rework on the work computers, better monitor calibration and not so aggressive sharpening.

[Psychobilly]

So sweet and fresh its like being in Cromer...

The TMB's going to be a keeper then

Peter...

[NickH]

Thanks Peter, and yes... it's a keeper.

If anyone wants a play with the raw channel data let me know.. still trying to completely eliminate the gradients on the full frame shot

Very sharp detail there. Nice

[MartinB]

Very fine detail Nick. There's a good bit of SII in there whereas the OIII doesn't show that strongly. Excellent

[JCJC]

Very nice Nick. Definitely prefer the 2nd smoother version.

As commented above, really nice to see M1 as sharply detailed as this,

Its one of my goals to improve this aspect in my M1 images, think I need the Obs and permanent pier to start with.

This is very nice indeed, Nick, crisp and clean. What has caused the gradient?

[Beyond_Vision]

Great image Nick I really like the reprocessed version
