Hi all,
finally some clearish nights here as the moon wains.
Did the colour channels tonight so added these to the already collected Ha and Lum.
I have pushed the processing to bring out better the dust and reflection.
The core is probably not to many peoples liking...
Did a 'soft light' blend in PS of the Ha to the meager luminance I had collected and also did a 20% blend of the Ha to the red channel to accentuate the HII.
Here's a link to my front page, hit the 'latest image' to take you to the full version.

Hope you are able to be getting out of late.
I know many are still experiencing floods and rain, so to those I hope you are safe and well.
Hope you all had a great Xmas.
I wish you all a happy and prosperous New year for 2011.
All the best
Rich
