Some dark contrasts evident and as you say you have picked up the variation in colour between the two nebs nicely, often missed in images of this pair.

I prefer to look at your images at the X3-Large size though

Very nice work

Mike

Thanks Mike, I've added the X3 size now, just for you
The colour difference is really the highlight of this area I think, it tells an interesting story and provides a 3D feel to the scene.

Thanks very much Allan I'm glad how the colours came out. I've been working on my processing flow lately and I think it has been worth it.

Greg.

Thank you Greg, I've always wanted to do this one and I was happy with how the new scope was able to gather plenty of light for this image. This target does need quite some data to really shine.

Thank you Rick, yes the colour contrast is incredible. Amazing to think that the obscured NGC3603 is the largest HII region in the galaxy.
