Thanks Marc - it was the colours that prompted me to post it - I really liked the way the colours shaded through and still kept the detail.
Thanks Hagar - The colours are real - more real than you think. It's not a Narrowband image in the Hubble sense - it is more of a Narrow Band RGB. Red was made up of HAlpa and SII which are both in the red band (incidently the SII chanel was very weak) Green was made up of 85% of the OIII band and Blue was made up of HAlpha plus 15% of OIII plus some data from a UV Venus Filter. The RGB Colours were scaled and assembled with a Clear Luminance image. What you see is what came out of the pot, but it's a method that I intend to explore further in the future because it seems to give better stars than the Hubble Pallate.
Cheers
