Thanks Steve , yes it does have a somewhat less contrasty look when there are no Ha exposures in it.

Thank you John, yes I wanted to really bring out the colours of both the nebula and the sorrounding stars., I'm glad you liked it.

Lovely result Rolf, displayed at Large and 2XL size it looks bloody great awesome colours, yeh a bit saturated but still awesome

It is missing the fine detail I expect to see in a Tarantula shot but I think that is mostly from the lack of a Ha channel..? Plus I am sure the conditions didn't help and I hear you re being reluctant to chuck hard earned data .

Still, very nice work, for a quicky!

Mike

Thanks Mike The seeing was shocking that night so it's definitely not a high resolution image, lol. I couldn't waste a clear night though, that would have been unthinkable
Maybe I should get a Ha filter, there are still a couple of empty slots in my filterwheel.

I liked how your image made it easy to identify certain objects from my image and made me say to myself " so that's what it looks like "

Thanks Steve, I like my images to show star colour.
There are so many objects packed in this small region of sky so I had to nab it, despite the poor conditions.
