Nice to see how the egg area at top right (only other shot I can think of was by Marco Lorenzi in RGB, not NB) relates to the Eagle, and all the interesting dust and nebulosity in between.

Thanks M&T, seems that there's a veritable duststorm up there that we don't often see - nice to venture off the beaten track occasionally. Cheers

Cheers Colin - I'm enjoying the context the wide field brings to familiar objects too

A great image nonetheless |
Cheers Suavi, I really appreciate the critique - yes it's bold as brass and probably a tad overcooked but hey, it's great fun to try something new.

Cheers Aidan, colour mixing is a black art for sure, but using NIK filters (a free download from google) certainly helps. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks Rob. Yes I actually started this project with M16/17 in mind, but when I did a test shot, to me those two nebs seemed to be competing against one another, rather than complimenting one another, so I went for this combo instead. Each to their own I guess, but it was good fun to image something relatively uncommon as well
