Patrick,

Many thanks for your thoughts.

Kevin,

Yay, that's another vote for the palette. As mentioned to Mike, it's not set in stone and could change. It looked different and the contasting colours appealed to me.

Personally I think it looks more like the FSM than a chicken though.
Marc,

It is an interesting one, isn't it. Rather electric? I haven't seen any other OSH images of this so thought I'd give it a go.

And, yes, the blue is clipped. I was in a hurry to finish processing before my wife came home (lol) and saved it in a rush. It's still open on the Mac waiting for me to finish it off!

As for the 60 hours; it has made a massive difference -- I haven't run any noise reduction processing/routines on any of the channels. There simply isn't any need to. I'll put the 100% resolution up once it's complete and people can pixel peep it to death then.

Have you white clipped your blue (Ha) channel (?)
Andy,

Mate, I took a leaf out of your book and went beyond electric.

The straight SHO combination is rather green. I'm guessing it's very strong in hydrogen, and, that's why. I'll try mixing the first two channels and see what happens, then. This palette isn't set in stone, but, I kind of like it. It's like cosmic fairy floss.

Looks a bit too UV nightclub-ish to me and appears very bi-colour, but hey, good on you for trying something new in NB!
Amazing deep detail in the Ha regions too, well done
Colin,

Cheers; glad you like it.
