Not my best had a few issues last night including weird gradients, was there some upper level haze in Melbourne last night?

this is great Nik. Great colour and nice definition on those bok globules. The skywatcher 72 with that reducer looks to be about the ideal focal length for this target. I couldn't quite squeeze it in with my espirit and my new apm130 no chance. When the novelty wears off my apm130 reckon I'll give this one a go with my askar 400.
Nice job. I notice on a lot of your images that you map blue to probably the highlights. Do you just mask it and handle a specific colour range separately?
