Hi all

I've had more of a play with my M42 data captured the other week, and spent a bit more time processing it to give more contrast and sharpness in the neulosity. Thanks to Mark (wysiwyg) for inspiring me to give it a go.

I've still got a lot to learn with DSO processing in photoshop, but I'm more pleased with this effort. The nebulosity is more striking, has more punch, but I'm not overly happy with what it's done to the stars (made them a bit too hard).

Anyway, it's all part of the learning process.

The left attachment is the new image, the right attachment is the old one.

Thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
