Still very nice.

I've done some more work on the contrast. Perhaps this new version is better.

Thanks Steve.

I think this neb looks much better in NB.

I think NB does suit it better but I should be able to get it nice regardless.

This looks great Greg, I think it is one of your best from recent efforts. I know what Humi is saying (worth a repro just to see) but I still like the way the wall details are subtle, the image scale is imense, the colour lovely and the stars look beautiful, great result.

Thanks Mike. A repro is now posted - same link.

Fair enough.

There was a minor problem. I can go back and do a proper alignment in CCDstack with the Ha which was cropped rather than the transform function in PS which is not as accurate.

Done.

Nice detail and smooth tones...looks real.


Thanks.

Ross.

Thanks Ross.

Thanks for the replies and hopefully this newer version has enhanced the contrast more.
I'd like to get it right as I am considering a mosaic but it wouldn't be worth it if the first panel
isn't right.

Perhaps I should do it in NB.

Greg.
