Pickering's Triangle

Bruce just posted a nice image of this same object in a wider field. Here is one I did with RGB data.

Beautiful!

Greg.

That's a wonderful field of view, Jim, with lots of detail in the Triangle.
You've framed it well.
This is a dim one, isn't it? It barely shows up in my framing shots.
Shooting at f/3.8 has served you well in the center of the image, but betrayed itself in the corners a bit. There's always a price to be paid, I guess.
My regards,

Thanks all for the comments...

Dan, Yeah pretty dim and yes the stars get kinda weird at the edges with the agressive f/3.8. The stretch is pretty hard as well - further complicating artifacts and other issues.

So based on some advice I had received, I did a second quick process that reduced the stretch and some of the saturation as well. I attached the result, but full size is here:
