Yes weeeell just humour me
...I thought that was that.... buuuuut Mr god dam bluddy perfectionist kept wispering in my ear
...I wasn't 100% happy with the last version as it showed some colour noise in the outer fainter nebulosity in the darker areas, particularly up around the outer Running Man and I hadn't managed to reveal the details in the very faint outer sections of the loop at the bottom of the frame very well, I also tweaked the colour balance slightly to get rid of teh slight green cast in a couple of areas and reduce the blue in the outer areas of the main nebula loop as I think this should be a little more grey. I was sure I could also squeak a tad more detail out overall too
.
I think this is now a little more polished with a more natural sky background, not that there is much visble through the huge amount of neb anyway.
This is the 2.3meg 60% size version (click on the image to see the other versions and crops etc):

Main Nebula only (1.7meg) if you have a decent size screen this is one to look at in full screen mode (F11):
