Thanks for that 'Kosh' - and yes it's certainly worth the 45 minute drive to get up there. Plenty of clear sky - especially out to the North.
I wish I'd written down all the steps I used, and their order, in the processing as I tried a few new things including colour match and layer masks after I'd watched a few mini tutorials on YouTube. Come to think of it I should have saved everyhting as PS file before flattening the image etc. That way I'd have a record of what I did. And if I'd framed the image a bit better - cue panning to the right a bit it would have come out really nice!
Sometimes I think that you need to be a Vorlon when it comes to processing images of DSOs - they both exceddingly enigmatic!
