Thanks Dennis. There is a lot going on around there that is not normally seen. Dark skies,good seeing, a sensitive CCD and F3.64 help.

Yeah I agree. I tried several times to make the colour one a pleasing image and it seemed to be either a usual star field with little depth or like it is with the colour one with detail but a bit ugly. Perhaps there is a way with Pixinsight to dig out that detail without the distortion of colour.
There is a tutorial on Rogelio Andrea's site about digging out integrated flux.

Greg.
