This is a near full field LRGB 180:30:30:30 minutes. Still needs
some processing, this is the first iteration. Shown at 1/2

Nice job Larry! 8)

Question: focus seems a bit soft, or is it that the scale is too large on the screen that makes it seems that way? (or maybe the processing is making the image softer?)(or is it my eyes? 8) )

Thanks for sharing, and keep'em coming!

Fantastic image. Nice and deep. BTW, it's luminance not luminescence.

Larry,
Nice set of images. Thanks for sharing - this object is not posted that much and you have done a great job with structure detail.

My fovorite is the widefield coilor version.
