Sensational my friend !!

Thanks RB. The Apogee U16M is prime at the moment, post its servicing in April. Plenty of dust on display. I actually though the different shade of gold toward the bottom was a gradient until I looked at a wide field image and realised it was natural...just as well I didn't remove it! Thanks again!

Darrin...

Cheers Darrin. This image has provided inspiration to mosaic the area sometime. May be next season. Pleased you enjoyed it.

Just excellent! http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/....s/thumbsup.gifhttp://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/....s/thumbsup.gif

Thanks Peter. Yes the colour in the area is difficult to manage. Its easy to over do it. I had a version where I pushed the red and green channel quite hard to introduce a brighter golden hue but it didn't work for this image. Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers Louie. Actually seeing your great image of B72 was one of the reasons I thought I should finally process this. So many renditions out there and so many that capture the imagination.
