Here's 50 min L (5x10min)and 30 min each RGB (6x5min) with the Atik16HR. TEC140 swinging on a Mach1GTO. Guided and acquired with AstroArt 4.0. I used Noel's PS actions to clean up color blotches.

I acquired more L data but the FWHM grew large as I slept. shocked

Comments appreciated.

Thanks,
David

Nice one David. Again, great natural look with nice subtle tones around the nebula. Yeah, Noel's color blotch removal works pretty good doesn't it. I also tend to take somewhat short data and the background can get somewhat blotchy in the processing. Noels PS actions can help that a lot.
