I must admit I really like the Mosaic with the FSQ. Nice and deep and the dust lanes stand out beautifully. You have controlled those stars in the belt very nicely!

Thanks Gary. Yes, up to no good, but keeping out of trouble...

Pleased you like the mosaic. The bright stars across the belt lead to different techniques to control them. I could have been really brutal and curb their brightness to improve the contrast in the surrounding nebulosity, but the image didn't look right. Lets face it...these stars are bright, so might as well make them appear that way!!

Cheers Craig. Hmmm. Rigel and Witch... not sure. I've done them
before...but would add a nice dimension to the mosaic.

The detail in the widefield is just astounding. I concur with Dennis, that's the finest Thor's Helmet I have ever seen. It is so 3-dimensional that you want to reach out and touch it. The galaxy, well, not much needs to be said.
Three masterful images, presented masterfully. As always, your work and dedication remains an inspiration.
You sir, are an artisan.

Thanks Humayun. Appreciate the kind words.

The trick in adding a depth of field is to smooth the background aspects while sharpening the foreground features. It helps to have transition areas between the two...and make sure you blur your masks... Thanks again.
