Hi,

I have got more data in this great weather on the Sunshine Coast so thought I would have a red hot go at this both imaging and processing. 108 x 5 minute subs ISO 800 Canon 400d with darks, flats and bias frames taken over two nights.

W/O Flt 110 stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop. I have included first image full frame, second slightly cropped to centre neb and third neb mostly. Advice/criticism welcome.

A good photo Mark.

I like the colours and detail.

Nice composition also.

It's a cool shot Mark. Great data. Need to repro though. Try a little more saturation and watch out for the stellar profiles. Your star are white clipped and your shadows/mid tones have lost their dynamic range. It seems compressed. If I had to guess I'd say a Shadow/Highlight tool in pS or similar. I reckon you have a corker in the making there. Worht spending a little time on it and play around. :thumbsup:

Yep yep, What Marc said.

You've got great data. I'd love to see it to it's full potential. :D

Hell at this stage of the game I'd be happy if I got a little red splodge. Fine effort.
