Super res and colours!

Glad the weather cleared for you to finish it off.

Top shelf!

Thanks Rich! Makes me want to when I think about what Sydney weather used to be like - plenty of clear nights! Now they're as rare as once or twice a month or two if you're lucky!

Thanks Steve. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and variability of the colour actually.

Thanks too on Ctrl +/- (wasn't aware of that shortcut)
Cheers Rob! I like to post full res because it allows the viewer to swim around in the image - no need for multiple versions, just zoom in and out to see the detail you want to see!

I haven't done any image processing in yonks - I'll need some refresher lessons from the master I think!!
Thanks David. No special processing on the globules mate. I applied progresssive high pass filtering and unsharping to the whole frame to bring out the detail & contrast. I used some fairly large scale layer masking of course plus I had to preserve the stars from bloat.
