Thanks very much Dave! Glad you think so!
Nope, no data added - just a
lot more experience!

The only NB added was Ha. It's worth pointing out (at the risk of stating the bleeding obvious) that the contribution from Oiii emission IS visible in broadband data spread between Green and Blue (looks like a cyan colour). There is a method I use to pull this out which is very manual, but I won't go into it now. You'll see me doing this in most of my LHaRGB images where I've pulled out the subtle blues & pinks to avoid the
everything-is-red look.

Cheers Rodney! It is fun to do.

My wife sometimes wonders how I can sit at the computer for
hours re-processing, but she has an appreciation of what I do (thankfully). My main goals are to improve depth, colour and detail of course - which is easy with the older images - and it's very gratifying when I succeed.
