Looking forward to the final colour image when conditions & time allow.
Thanks Pete, yeah working on the colour version (HaOIIIRGB) now, I reworked the Ha a tad too, more ruthless rejection and slightly different decon, for the main body and I've convinced my self it was worth it and have managed to extract a little more detail...others may not be able to tell but by Jove, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!

Mike
