Only remarks I have is about the color balance, I find the image a bit dark and too magenta, probably due to the Ha contribution. I imaged the same area a while ago and several nebulas in the area were recorded with nice yellow and cyan while the dust was brown/grey-ish: http://www.glitteringlights.com/Imag...ae/i-Rnv7k22/O
It is a great image but I would check again the color calibration to display the full chroma palette present in the area..

Thank Marco for your comment. I went back and redid the image from scratch as I when I looked at the image again with fresh eyes it did seem the colour balance was not right. Still not really certain that is quite what I was thinking my preference would be, but certainly happier with the look. I like the way the luminance is shown in your image over the way it looks in mine.
I have put a thumbnail up to demonstrate the difference. The link now has the new image.
