Horsehead Nebula - UPDATED with new synthetic luminance approach

I collected about another 2.5hrs of data and did a reprocess, which included trying to reduce some reflections (these may or may not be due to a recently identified flaw with the GSO RC8). They are still there but not as prominent as they were before.

Details
Scope: GSO RC8
Mount: EQ6
Imaging camera: Modded Canon 30D, ~10hrs of data (5min exposures) @ ISO1600
Location: Backyard (~35km south of Adelaide). Shot over about 8 nights with temperature ranging from 15-25 degrees.

Lights, darks and flats calibrated in DSS and processing done in CS3.

Feedback more than welcome
