What a beautiful collection of pics there Stephen.
My favourite pic is the triangle it makes with delta Muscae and the glob which I've just shared on the IIS fb page (& linked to the thread here) along with an update of the comet. :thumbsup: 11 "likes" within 14 mins. of posting- pretty good reaction so far- I can see this getting quite a bit of attention. ;)

Nice collection Steve! My favourite is the Crux shot.

I'd say back off on the contrast a little, perhaps saturation too, they're quite high contrast which I think detracts from what they could be. :shrug:

Thanks everyone. Ok Roger, I will give it a go. I have been loosing a bit of the green coma in the comet when I do a Vignetting removal so I am eager to go a little less heavy handed and try and get the balance right. Also I was trying to cover the noise factor and something had to give. The current cloudy conditions will allow for me to have more processing practice:thumbsup:
Thanks for the comments and suggestions :)
Steve.
