but, well - your own recent remarks about how this forum is pre-occupied with colour balance rather than the content of images spring to mind here.
Oi! wadda ya meeean..I remarked on both the composition of your frame aaand ya stars..not just the colour ...as for the the subject matter, well, they are two of the most imaged nebulae in the whole sky and I have probably seen 1000's (literally) of renditions in my time where as my comments about narrow focused comments on colour critiquing were made in the context of an image of two interacting galaxies that have very rarely been imaged

So there's no miscommunication, let's get one thing straight - I'm in this hobby for aesthetics first and foremost. I'm no scientist and am first and foremost a proud "pretty picture" maker. I'm a photographer, it's in my DNA to create and stretch myself.
And that's great Andy, do what you want, there are few rules in this game....especially when it comes to "wavelength ordered emission line" imaging ...now that is more like interior decorating...everyone has an opinion on what gawdy and OTT colour is
