Hi AaronWell done on a very nice wip. Lovely region to image. I did this with a similar in your sig setup a few years back.
As you asked, a bit of CnC for you. The data has been pushed quite hard which you can see when you look at the histogram on Astrobin and at the way the colour breaks down in around the cluster. No harm in that but always better to get more data as it’s easier to play with when processing.
Having said that the last star party I was at I got somewhat less data than you did here for the whole 3 days! Always tricky but if you get the chance to get more data that will help.
Looking at the halos, looks like a bit more work on masks will help. Not sure what processing ap you are using but I get the impression you are masking the stars then upping the hue of the blues to bring out more of the reflection nebulosity around the cluster?
Let us know what you are using and am sure someone will give hints and tricks on star masks.
Like Glen though, wondering if dew might also have been a factor?
As I said, great image and really cool that you got NGC6164 as well.
