Hehe ... Cheers Chris! Glad you liked it ... very gratifying to hear when it was such a tough one to process!

That is a wonderful composition Marcus and I particularly like the work that you’ve done to blend in the colour palette with the Ha and OIII. Something that I will pay some attention to as it has worked very well.

Thanks very much Rodney! Yes, the goal with my blending was to ensure ALL signal from ALL the filters was properly and proportionately represented. Not particularly easy given the strong Ha and OIII components.

Wowee. That’s astonishing. No need for AI here! Who wants to admire the suggestions of a sharpening algorithm when the real deal is so endlessly fascinating.

Thanks Ben, I'm glad you liked it so much! And I couldn't agree more with your sentiments on AI sharpening. Well said!
