Thanks Trev!

You have a keen eye! ...there is indeed a very short RGB sub exposure layered in of the Homunculus....the brightness of which is proving difficult for yours truly to tame without it looking artificial.

(I suspect a 24bit CCD might be required to capture the full dynamic range of this delightful region)
