Post edited to add the version with 50 minutes of Ha data.

WOW!
That's simply stunning!

very very nice take , thx .

That's a beauty!

Thanks! I also shot 50 minutes worth of 5 minute Ha subs as well that I'll be adding to this image.
I'm in the middle of rebuilding my master Dark Library as my old library was created with the temperature set to -10°.
Unfortunately, with ambient temperatures last night at 102°f, I was unable to cool down to -10° so I had to shoot at 0°.

Really nice. Fun to see these both in the same FOV. Can't wait to see the HA added in...

Great image, hope to see it with Ha.
Thanks for sharing.

Both beautiful images! Thx for sharing.

I've added a third version now to the original post. Same data as #2 but different processing. I think I like #3 better now.

I'm happy to share a link to the master channel files if anyone would like a go at processing this data. I'm sure some of you PixInsight users could do much better.

Those are some terrific images Greg!

Thanks Michael,

Just playing around with the data. I don't use PixInsight but I do have the standalone version or StarNet and came up with this one. Kinda cool if you like the "no stars" thing.

A possible candidate for the AP Processing Challenge?
