Even too much chocolate can make you sick - right?. 2) I've been slaving away on my latest project - fighting fickle weather and horrible seeing all the way.
Anyway, this image is just marvellous!! BTW you're the Ha-blend man! I see vibrant colour with rich reds. Nice smooth field and pin point stars too. Gorgeous! 
Cheers, Marcus |
Hi mike,yeah not quite eddies amazing mosaic
yes the fsq and the stl do have a nice field of view together,still so many objects to capture if only the crappy weather would piss of
You have a good eye mike i am glad someone picked out my bloat remnants ,i will have to learn a better technique to get rid of them.
Yes must have been beginners luck blending my HA but i am glad it worked out okay
Appreciate your comments mike ....cheers rob

Fantastic FOV Rob with lots happening.
You look to have handled the HaRGB blend really quite well. The magenta and salmon pinks look quite natural and the overall colour of the nebula looks good to me. Ha blending is always a hard thing to do properly as Martin has mentioned, particularly when trying to match star sizes. The remnants of the green halos are not objectionable either.
Your trick to blend the Ha with the Red and use it as the Lum is exactly what I did in this Eta shot of mine:

Not as wide field as yours though 
A lovely image Rob!

I understand the problem well i.e blending HA and avoiding salmon pinks...I havent found a satisfactory solution yet, and I can even get Rob's description on his website to work properly!
