Well done. Lovely colors. Very smooth. :thumbsup:

yep nice one Hobbit, I had a go at the data and came up with a very similar result to yours except the blues were a bit bluer. I stacked in DSS, then aligned them in RegiStar then processed in CS6.

thanks again for sharing! I haven't had much experience with tri colour nb. quite difficult digging out the O3 and S2 even on a bright/large target like carina.

+1 to everything said, fantastic image. i love the framing, because it is such a large object, it can be difficult to get the framing right. there does appear to be some hot pixels around the place maybe look at applying some dark frames, that should sort the issue out.

I'd like a big glossy photo of that on my lounge room wall

Thanks everyone.
Adain, I've noticed the pixels as well. I had them in another image as well and was told that they were probably stacking artifacts and to change my settings. Just not sure what I should be changing. I don't think they're hots as dark frames have already been applied.

it is not a big deal, it is a fantastic image. let me know if you figure it out, i think i have had similar issues in the past
