We finally got a break in the clouds to get some imaging in last night. This was a

very eventful night. I had a bear that also wanted to come and see what I was doing. 

I shot a few rounds in the air to run him off.

Slightly dim? Great image, a skilled processing rendition of its gassy nature

Personally, I don't think it's oversharpened, I reckon it's spot on. Maybe a little on the blue/green side on my monitor, not sure how it looks on yours.

There might be a tad more detail in this data. The green channel is off a little bit. Never process data with no sleep 🤪 Thanks for the info and comments!

I had issues with the telescope when Saturn was out. I might be imaging again on Friday or Saturday. Hopefully I will get some decent shots then.

Lovely and I agree, the second one is not over-sharpened.
