Thanks, Dave! :thumbsup:

This is my take on it. Or, one possible take. There are any number of possible choices of course. I went with the H HO O bicolor, and fairly contrasty to try to reveal inner structure best I could, and also show a few scattered patches of dark space with stars.

Finding the right balance of bicolor is also always a bit tricky since the B and G are oft a bit noisier than the red, though perhaps less so here compared to an L-eN due to your L-eX.

Still...a bizarre-looking target as always. I'm not sure there's any good way to rotate it. Cropping is probably the only solution. :roll:

Nice dataset :)

here's my rendition.
kept "classic" red and tried to pull some blue to contrast the center of the nebula.

Nice job Charles thanks for taking the time , switching to a dedicated cooled camera with no amp glow is definitely a game changer calibration gets a lot easier and makes processing easier especially using narrow band duo band filter.
