Oooo Yeah!! Definitely pay that one Mike
I actually prefer the shot with the lum data - I like seeing more stars in this gorgeous field. I'd also experiment with increasing the colour saturation - just a tad.
Makes me want to try out my new Ha filter! Unfortunately I'll be selling my entire system soon - the permanent cloud cover over Sydney these days has made my equipment look like Paris Hilton at an Astrophysics convention - nice to look at but completely useless!
Welcome back!
Cheers, Marcus
