Hello all,
Pulled an all nighter last night, shut down at 6:30 this morning. I have been playing around with this image off and on all day and have yet to come up with a combination that seems just right but heres what I have so far.

Oddly this is one of the rare images that I have had good luck processing almost completely in Maxim. I only used PS Elements for some levels, crop, and save.

Stats:
C8/G11 Gemini, st237 @ f/4.*, guided via st90/tv 2.5 powermate/st5c.
L=50m R=18m G=18m B=23.4m
5 min subs on the L, 6 mins on R&G, 7.8 on the B

I assembled a version of the image last night while imaging M51 which showed the ejecta much a bit more sharp but for some reason havent been able to duplicate the results since. Perhaps it was my eyes drooping rather than a better processing wink

Happy new year all,
Mark
