Dealers choice though.
Thanks Paul. I'll have another look at this one from a colour balance perspective.

The dust is showing up very nicely. You only need to see a Spitzer image to see how much is really there.

Thanks Bert. I do add some Ha in the blue channel. In this case probably more like 12%. The amount I add varies image to image but usually 12-20%.

Greg.
