Leah,
Love the look of this one - great details and very nice dynamic range and that palette is very pleasing too. Your setup is similar to mine as I have the QHY version of the same camera, the same NB filters, and a 4" 4 element refractor as well. Great work, thanks for sharing!

Thanks ML and Bill. This one took me a long time to process - it had some really bright areas. I appreciate the comments!

Thanks very much guys for looking and your kind reviews, much appreciated. Processing definitely takes a lot of time and patience - for me anyway.

Here you go. I'm using a Tele Vue NP101is scope (I bought used from Astromart) with ZWO AM5 mount and ASI2600mm camera and ZWO Autofocuser. Guide camera is ASI174mm. The ZWO ASIAir controls everything.I added just yesterday some EdgeInstruments (they're in Australia - https://edgeinstruments.com.au/) accessories, a stiff spreader for the tripod, a 'cable tidy' to help protect all the cables and a guide camera cable protector. Very nice accessories for not too much money. I'm in a rush right now, can respond again tomorrow...
