Thanks for the comments all!
I agree that it is probably over cooked and needs a reprocess. I'm off to New Zealand tomorrow so it will be a while. I've only processed one other Ha image so I'm just trying to find my way with this data. Just so I understand..... Greg, you think the blacks are too black, and the whites too bright, and Marc your issue is the white is too white and burned, but the black may be ok?
This may be a monitor thing. I originally processed the image on my laptop which has a particularly bright screen and shows heaps of detail. I've learned to dial the screen brightness back to 50% doing RGB and the results have been pretty good viewing on other monitors. However, no matter what I've done on the laptop this time the images look quite dark with the blacks showing almost no detail at all no matter which other monitor I view with (except the laptop!), so I used a friends beautiful MAC monitor to do a final levels push. What I presented looks OK to me on that machine. So to be honest I'm confused about how to decide about these matters when the image looks so very different no matter what I do. Anyway, I can certainly cook up a less contrasty version.
Thanks,
Peter
