Hi all,

I shot this back in August with my Orion Starshoot and didn't think it was very good, however after processing it (with Nebulosity) and some post processing in PixInsight and Paintshop Pro 10, I'm pleasantly surprised how well it turned out.

Nice image Paul. I think this is a challenging object.
