Humayun, Thanks,
No i havent flat fielded the image.. I did however re-process the higher resolution image with some extra data I captured saturday night... the higher res image is actually 12x600 sec images using 12x600sec darks as well... I think the higher res image is much nicer.. The outer extensions of the nebula seem slightly less prominent, however there is much less noise involved and I think the overall colour balance is much better.. (to my tastes anyway..)
There is a slight blue cast through the star field... It may not be technically correct, however I do like the look of it....
Thanks for your comments mate..
