Hey thanks for the encouragement everyone, I was really nervous posting.

It sometimes helps to leave the data for a few days before again experimenting with the data and colours

Yes I love your version Suavi, a true reference image. This data was from mid October, so I think I left enough time! Might have fun in our long winter..

Thanks Rick, yes angry is a good word. 'mega data'??? Hmm, I think that label is a little premature, wait till I'm routinely hitting the 40's, ok?

You've captured the violence and drama very well. That was also my thought before I read your comments.
If you have the patience for some more, perhaps you could consider a mosaic to extend the bottom bit.

Thanks heaps Geoff. 'If you have the patience'... that's funny! I'll leave it for next year or a quite lull between targets. Trying a mosaic tonight hopefully of the M42 region.

Thanks Colin. But think of the pollution??
