Absolutely magnificent and I prefer this over the earlier naked version, it just seems more familiar. 
Fantastic effort in acquisition, processing, and presentation, it must have taken you many sessions and many hours.

Thanks Dennis I appreciate that! Yes my main priority in processing was to try to keep that perception of depth. Those dusty regions and bok gobules were not all the same shade of grey in the raw data and if you go too hard with the decon/contrast/sharpening you can accentuate the detail but it flattens the image. I was trying to imagine how some of those features were actually beneath or on top of the others. Actually not so much data required for such a bright target but did labour over the processing quite a bit.
Cheers mate
