Hi guys,

I've reprocessed the 32 15min subs (originally 36, but 4 had to be rejected sad )

I like this one better than the one posted a few days ago. It is a sum of 3 mean-combined images (I couldn't process all the images together :C ) The image is reduced to 50% size and 50% quality.

I'm now working on the 2x2 binned version that I was able to process all at once (all the 32 subs!) and I collected some OIII data grin

Criticisms are always welcome. Tips even more so!

Ciao

Luca

I think this is a great image. Keep doing what you are doing. I can't see how it can be improved except maybe to do it in color with the other two narrow band filters.

Excellent, Luca! Tons of details there! Did the Sum of the 3 "submasters" help?
