Thanks mate :-)

Yep, using an UV / IR cut, the softness is all software induced :-) I find it really easy to over cook things and turn them into something weird by making small adjustments that accumulate into something silly. I like to think that usually when I come back and look at it a day later I realise what I've done and will then do it again and make a better job of it.

Here's some new versions. Not happy with NGC 5128, I'll redo that one for sure. Maybe M16 too. M20 I'm reasonably happy with though.

M16: http://astrob.in/108364/E/
M20: http://www.astrobin.com/108363/C/
NGC 5128: http://www.astrobin.com/108360/D/

Ended up buying PixInsight, even though the money was probably better put towards guiding. Those new versions were done with PI. Loving it so far, but there's so much I need to learn before I can make the most of it.
