The only thing I think I would change would be dropping the saturation on the Ha just a little. It's looks a bit fluro to me. Other than that it is a great image. Resolution is nice also. I particularly like the large image.
Thanks Paul, yeah there are a few shots out there showing both globs at a similar image scale, the 645 reducer would have done it perfectly...but not quite as much resolution then either of course. Yes I did go "colourful" and I certainly ummed and ahhed but seemed ok with the higher level of saturation in the end and think (hope?) I managed to teeter on the edge without falling off the saturation cliff
