Blimey - you must be spending all your waking hours either imaging or processing !

Another nice image Carole, it looks great at this scale.

Lol, it has been a Marathon with all the clear skies we have been having, was glad of the night off last night when the clouds came over.

Slightly enhanced image posted.

One more image to process, but again wanted double the data.

Well done Carole, that's come out really well.  It's good to see the whole Veil complex in a single field of view.  It's a perfect target for narrowband.

As you say, twice the data would be better but you have to stop somewhere :)

Great framing Carole and the processing is very nice!  8)  I plan to do this one as a mosaic later in the summer.  I have taken the east and west sections separately but never the entire field.
