Cool!
Folks, in the pursuit of the periphery, the central part often gets overexposed and the sense of depth is lost. But I really liked how the hydrogen clouds are brought out in your image.

Thanks.
And honestly, I didn't really push anything or shoot it in any special way )
I just relaxed on a deliberately easy target, and processed it with a "whatever comes out" approach. Of course, with the practice I've accumulated on other DSOs.
Plus, I expected a completely different result (looking at other examples of M27 work). But here it turned out unexpectedly, and quite beautifully with some details, so it would be a shame not to share it.
