It is such an extensive data set I gathered that it has been fun playing around with it for over a year now...it's my special long period processing (LPP) technique
Its amazing how much extra detail a negative image is able to bring out in your shot. There certainly is a lot more going on than a quick first glance provides. Thanks for posting Mike.

I have always been a big fan of images presented in negative, they always make the faint stuff a little more obvious and I recon they have a sort of old style deep emulsion plate look to them, like you would imagine getting straight off the UK Schmidt or AAT et al a while back...actually, be very interesting to see the raw UK Schmidt's red sensitive plate shot of the Helix area, would be awesome I'd recon
Definately a great way of picking out detail, those halos/arms/outter ejecta really are amazing, i like the Ultra Violet image of this Neb, Spitzer's image http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/skyimage_2126_3672113
Michael,
True inspiration and a great technical challenge.
Thank you for sharing

Thankyou Mark for your generous words, the hardest thing about compiling it in the first instance was the multiple packed car trips to my dark sky site and the too few short 60-90min cat naps in the car, in near zero temps, during sequence runs all on mostly work nights for a total of 7 nights over a 4 week period..
Congrats on IOTW.
