Flavour of the month - The Creation of Dragons

It's hard to follow so many great images of this patch of sky, but here's my attempt at this very popular and photogenic region. Framed this way I find I am always reminded of Michelangelo's 'The Creation of Adam' (the hands mostly).

Big size here

Original size here

Just Ha and OIII mapped to red and blue respectively, with a green channel created from an expression containing both. I spent a reasonable amount of time collecting OIII to try bring out the shells around NGC6164/5 as best as possible. Some of the very faint extensions have frighteningly low counts above background.

Hope you enjoy perusing the original size and any feedback would be appreciated as always.
