Thanks very much Adrian.
Yes it's the "Kraft cheese" of nebulas all right - as in everyone's tried it - but still a very pretty object regardless of how it's treated.

Saw Icehouse with Simple Minds back in the 80's at Cloudland ballroom in Brissy - best sound mix I ever heard. Iva's voice was pitch perfect too, great show.

Tricky work to get the detail without the core being blown off the screen. Interesting that the running man is so faint, I could not see it at all on my PC at work, only spotted it here at home on my own monitor.

Yes he's elusive - A reflection nebula I'm guessing, so probably a broadband target in it's own right.
Also as NGC 1999 has a blue reflection component it's not seen here either.
Was interesting watching the Hubble doco on TV last night.
The EGGS (Evaporative Gaseous globules) ie: star forming regions of M16 were discussed, and I'm pretty sure there's one seen here at 7 o'clock - it looks like a finger.
