Nice image Mike and something that resembles the image I did below with my lowly 40D. Colour is natural as far as I can tell.

...Yeh but don't forget I used a mono CCD and larger scope so you would expect superior resolution and detail. I think your red is a little toooo red, needs more blue-magenta for sure but hey, 6 of one in the end....

Nice sharp detail but maybe the noise is a little too positive. I know that this object is reasonably dim and this would no doubt be contributing to the noise given the amount of time you have put into this image.

Yeh?..I was quite hapy with the noise levels in the end actually, very low as far as I was concerned. I don't like to see an image that has obvious smoothing, this looks worse in my opinion but each to there own I guess?

As for the APOD; well done but I reckon your M42 is sublime in comparison and much more deserving if I was choosing as too is your Helix. This is the fickle nature of those choosing APOD. Still a wonderful image but I believe you should have had several by now and the ones mentioned should have been there for sure.

Yes like imaging contests
... in this case it comes down to the opinion, likes and dislikes etc of two NASA scientists - that's just how it is, can be a little frustrating at times but not worth getting too hung up about it I've decided
Thnaks for the comments mate
