It has smaller stars & the tadpoles show up clearer + more detail in the nebula.
Unfortunately some of the smaller stars ended up a bit green
but I think it shows that there is a lot more in your data.

cheers

Not a problem Allan. Sometimes I think I need all the help I can get <g>. Your version looks something like one I have in preparation but I'm not prepared to release it just yet.

Put this down to personal taste if you like but perhaps you could take advantage of the smaller stellar profiles in the Ha a bit more? I'm definitely a star lover but they do tend to distract attention from that gorgeous nebula.

Thanks Marcus. Another version is coming. I'll bear your comments in mind.
