Thanks Mike. Must be the week of the cat. It's one of my favorites, but only when worm free

Lots of yummy detail there Peter. Well done.

In the attachment I've tweaked the black point on both the green and blue channels by about 35 counts out of 255 (9000 out of 65535) to remove the aqua haze, and upped the blue a tad, to reveal more of the OIII emission.

Nice one Sensei.

M&T, thanks for the feedback. now that you mention it the teal in tyhe background was really obvious however I didn't notice it when I first posted.

I've done some tweaks and I think it looks much better now. Thanks.

Nice full-field view Peter! Good detail too.

I agree with M&T's tweaks. Your reworked version is much nicer than the original and you're starting to see the blue signal show through more too. Good work!
