I tweaked the levels (wont post it, you know what I mean) and the filaments fair jump out. Perhaps you could get the background down a bit, just for the Ha version?.
Not quite sure what you mean Fred?

Are you talking about my Luminance shot? If so it is not just Ha it's L+Ha+R so there aint much sky background left in there, it's literally full of heaps of gas, dust and stuff.

This image is basically a black and white shot with a red bias rather like using red sensitive film, still get all the colour photons (from the Lum component) but it's really picking up the red, but all displayed in B&W.

Post your version, I'd like to see it, the "original" size Lum shot at my web site is 2.7meg and 2500 X 1700 so you should be able to do a good job, I'd like to see what you think looks good

Mike
