Superb image Richardo
All round probably the best image of M78 posted here this season
Yu look to ahve sorted the stars out, is this a crop at all?
As good as it is, could I suggest tweeking up the contrast and shadowhighlights juuust a tad? Maybe do a contrast enhanced version, smooth the noise out where it has increased and then blend it in to this version to get just a little detail in those larger featurless areas.
This is only a
Sidggestion (
) to try.. it may make this image pop a little more?
Really great job.
