Thanks Doug!
Yeah, the fainter dusty regions make it more crab shell shaped. I stretched and masked the three different layers to gain finer control over each region of the nebula. A little more work, but the worth the effort. I never seem to settle on one routine - possibly my downfall (hit/miss consistency).

The colour and fine detail in this image is spectacular

Hey Ric. Thanks for your comments. M1 may have a cult following - it is imaged often. I only acquired LRGB data, no Ha. Not sure how much more I'd extract with Ha alone. This would certainly make an incredible narrowband target. Geez - too many targets and not enough time.
