I love the way you have Ha data in the image but have kept the star colours from going off (did you remove the stars in the Ha layer before adding the Ha data in?).
Great detail!
The image reminds me a bit of the dark tower in Scorpius....
Congratulations on an awesome image of a fresh object.
Cheers,
Tim

What can I say Tim, very kind words, so glad you enjoyed it
I agree there is a strong resemblance to the dark tower region of Scorpio.
No I don't use the star removal technique... I use the iterative Sidonio blending algorithm, developed over years and years of careful experimentation
. I make various versions that emphasise the things I want in each then blend them using Lighten, Soft light, Hard light, Normal and Luminance modes in PS, in several layers in different ways...ie. add herbs and spices until it tastes right
