M42 flt98

Managed to stitch together 110 mins of combined exposures between clouds for this image. Acquired & stacked with Nebulosity v4, processed (to within an inch of its life) with Startools. My second time using the FLT98 & first light with the SBIG 8300c (loving the camera Peter). Comments/constructive criticism welcome.
Thanks for looking,
Tony

Excellent image Antonio , good colour , contrast and detail. I really like running man, it’s outline is great
You must be getting a handle on Startools now
If you want to sharpen and debloom your stars a bit try the Magic module, this feature is used after your final noise reduction and has a number of modes , Shrink, Shrink core , expand core and tighten.Its really neat and does a great job , give it a try
Keep up the great work !

Purely personal taste, but I would up the colour saturation a little; to me it is beautifully done, but slightly lacklustre. I'm talking a little here, not a lot.
You're ready for the main forum.

A wonderful image and I say that you have done very well.
My only tip (if you have photo shop) is to use the "burn" tool on the core as I expect to do so will just give a little more snap.
I use it to darken the region a little and then use the dodge tool to brighten the trap stars...some would call that cheating but not to my face☺.

Anyways for so early the image is exceptional so take the time to appreciate your work and dont be hasty to find problems... as time goes by you will notice the problems before anyone else does ☺
So keep them coming.
Alex
