Thanks Carl.....but believe me there is no processing here worth talking about. it is, as I said, a single shot on which I tweaked the histogram slightly and then converted it to JPEG. (Absolutely nothing else). It is all down to the FSQ 106.....a great scope for astrophotography and so glad I found a good second-hand one when I did. (Also used here is an Astronomik 6nm Ha filter.....great for bringing out all that background nebulosity).
