I struggled to get colours I liked with this object when I tried to process it last year. Since then I've learned a bunch of new tricks and built a handy PI colour masking script so I reckon I might be able to do it justice now. Must put it back in my processing queue

Cheers,

Thanks Rick. Yes, the colour data I have doesnt look flash. I havent tried it yet, suspected it might be a problem hence this post 1st. I will try it though.

Thanks for the detailed reply Mike. I dont know why others werent the full bubble, I didnt find it that faint even stretched the noise wasnt that bad.

Thanks Marc. Faint, mmm, do you know what the mag is perchance?.

Thanks Paul. I had a look at yours before actually, one of the few I could find. I think your colour was pretty good, hope to do as well.

Thanks Mike. I did spend a fair bit of time processing, got to multiple masked layers in PS which I dont do so much these days, but cant say it was all difficult. Id be interested later to see how you went with it and what you found difficult.
