IC434 Region * Reprocessed

[Emanuele]

I did not like how I processed my IC434 Region image so I gave a go to another iteration to begin the new year

Here it is again!
Is this better than the last one? I oversmoothed the last image, this one takes care of that?

Can't do much about the little data I am getting due to my unmodded Canon 40D.

BIgger is always better:

Looks great, you can see some of the finer detail in the faint dark dusty bits now.

Amazing amount of detail in there Emanuele for an unmodded 40D. Love the subtle colours in the Flame. Maybe you can tease some more detail out, particularly the red around the Horsehead. Those Pentax scopes are great. Craig

Thank you very much Mike and Craig! :) I cannot squeeze anything else out of the shot because I start to get color blotches!

Hi Emanuele,
Fantastic shot. I am trying to use photoshop cS3 to process my horsehead. If time available could you briefly tell how you processed to give me some ideas to try. It looks great.
