Ha ha - there has to be a great Chuck Norris joke there somewhere!

I really appreciate the feedback Mike and Trish - I used an unsharp mask on the Ha only, and the blue halos only appeared after the pixinsight combine. I think the hard edged stars might also be a consequence of the very different star sizes in the broad and narrowband filter data. Still - an excuse to get back in there and fiddle!

Agree it looks a little oversharpened but very detailed.

Greg.

Thanks Greg - I have to agree, initially you get such a 'wow' effect from some of these processes you get a little seduced by the effect. I'll definitely revisit these data!

Cheers,
Andrew.
