    Flying Bat and Squid Nebula...complete with Canadian forest fire smoke..Not very impressive compared to really good versions of this but it is what I have so far..I needed a reality check to see if I was even picking up anything because I wasn't sure.

    I wasn't gonna post this because it should be much better, consider this a work in progress. I just don't really have enough good OIII subs, revision 2 will be better. Need the smoke to clear. This object is way beyond my skilllevel as I am sure my processing hurt it more than I helped it.

    H-Alpha 65 x 1800"
    OIII 35 x 1800"

    Takahashi FSQ85 EDX w/ QE .73 reducer
    SBIG STT-8300+FW8G-STT
    Bisque Paramount MyT
    Astrodon 5nm H-Alpha 36mm filter
    Astrodon OIII 3nm 36mm filter

    It's a gorgeous object. I'm sure your final version will be spectacular.

    Having done this one myself, I can say your version is excellent. A very difficult object. Thanks for posting.
