The colour is probably a bit fluro for me but seems to work ok in this instance. Mainly because it sort of enhances the detailing. In any event it is certainly striking.
Cheers Paul, I agree with your assessment I'm aware I do tend to run the saturated/fluro gauntlet (and I imagine this would'a looked extra fluro to your eyes, after your last processing effort - which was good BTW), but hey, what can I say, clearly I like colour (Gabany, Gendler, Rogelio and the king of colour Hallas, just to name a few, all do/did the same )... but hopefully at least most of the time , I am able to keep it, even if teetering somewhat, on the right side ...I think I reconcile it through the idea that the atomic process in a HII cloud, kinda reminds me of florescence and given this particular cloud appeared to be almost 100% Ha and that the colour of such excited Hydrogen is indeed a a deep red, with always a little Hb (= blue/cyan) well, you get where my mind set influences sit...
