I then process in photoshop the levels, curves (open the curve in the centre), adjust the colour balance ( you need to adjust all areas with a concentration on Red, Magenta and blue due to the natural colours of the nebula). Next I address the brightness and contrast. Brightness I reduce a little (2 or 3 points) and increase contrast by 5 or six. Then I increase the saturation to 25 and this gives the result below.
This shot is the in between shot from the original post and the more extreme shot. I am not sure about the result, and tend to think that the original was the best. Anyway I would appreciate everyones opinion as I can sometimes get bogged down in the final process and start second guessing myself.
