A very lovely shot Martin, well done!
Aaah yes, the old forgot-to-leave-the-adjustment-layer-visible trick - done that one myself
but much better with the colour back in the core! While I don't particularly like the framing I sure can appreciate how nice it must be to fit that FOV in one frame!!
Also, I'd have expected 19hrs would have let you bring out the deep neb a bit more strikingly (?) I guess with all the blizzards you've been having over there good transparency must be rare? The transparency in Sydney is nothing special either - zero most nights
!
Cheers, Marcus
