Thanks for the positive responses. I was unsure about this one. I spent several hours with a Trial License of Pixinsight to process the stacked image. I followed some online tutes for processing Nebula. I ended up with an interesting result but I scrapped it because it just didn't look natural. I went back to the original stacked image and just adjusted Contrast and brightness. Pixinsight is a very strong learning curve.

I havn't heard the title "Star Queen" before, but after seeing it called this it is very obvious why it is called so. The only other term I have heard is the "Pillars of creation".
