Adam,
Great start on the Tarantula with your excellent Mono set up
Those 3nm Antlia’s certainly do the job
Love the colour too
Well done !
Not a fan of a blown out main body and core , there’s so much incredible nebulosity clouds to expose in that area
From memory, I think you have Startools ?
Just a thought, if your interested, maybe try a reprocess in ST , it will definitely tame that core and even out the detail and dynamic range , brightness across the main body using AutoDev and then HDR. The centre area you can use Shrink with a dim preset to tone it down as well
That’s how I tamed my Tarantula the other day , no layering or anything like that , it just knows what to do without special masks , curves and you can throttle the aggressiveness to taste. So easy

Looking forward to seeing your final image after you collect more data

Cheers
Martin
