Great image Maurice. The stars look great, and the pillars are as good as they get. I love the natural colour too. Well done.

Lovely detail in the image, nice work

Great detail and that colourful star cluster just tops it off. Good stuff!

Another fine, crisp image Maurice! Nicely done! :thumbsup: One thing about OSC is they produce very natural looking images.

Without meaning to disrespect your personal tastes, I'd give it some more punch though; via some vibrance, saturation and contrast (just to the neb - leave the stars alone). You could also bring out some more shadow detail.

Cheers, Marcus
