The mother of all nebulae - added OIII, see messages for details

Hi all, I post one picture of an object that will bother most of you, so please be kind with me

It is the perhaps the most imaged nebula of the sky, this time with more than 15 hours of light collected with HaRGB filterset. Here is the link:

edit: added OIII data, see message #18

I suggest the view at full resolution. I tried to push the image to show all details and colors of the area, there are some blue and yellow nebulae that I didn't noticed before. I hope to have been able to keep balanced resolution and natural appearance..

Core's details are courtesy of Angus Lau, an amateur that has a dome next to mine in Australia that took the short exposures for me with his TEC180. If you want to know more of his work, his website (very nice) is here:http://anguslau.smugmug.com/

I hope you will like the image, comments and critiques as always are both welcome

Clear Skies
