Andrew,
Just a thought - that is such a stunning shot - especially as its done on a DSLR - why not expand this shot into an article on DSLR processing.
The first shot I took of this target was one of my first guided shots on a DSLR. I was pretty happy with it back then until Peter Ward asked why is it green? I naively asked - oh what colour was it supposed to be? And this openned a whole new door of image processing skills.
Given the Tarantula is such a common target for folk after they have started their entry into guided astro photography - why now explain a bit more for us the steps involved - it would make a great tutorial! The subtle detail in your shot is fantastic.
PS
Could you please post one of your shots unprocessed so we could see the colours comming out of your DSLR.
I remember Jase commenting on my first shot - check your calibration frames (and me asking what's a calibration frame
)

So I guess my shot was atypically of someone first targeting the Tarantula and yours of great gear in a masters hands.
