I don't think that was meant to be an insult but it does raise the old question of what we are using as the bench mark for the true colours of nebula etc. The sensors of a unmodded camera are set to what the human eye sees as normal colour, so it would be reasonable to asume that an original raw image would represent the true colours and we manipulate these to bring out more detail (for scientific research), but for most of us it is just to make a better looking image.

A really great image though, love the fine nebulous detail.

And great processing tips Rex, thanks
