Ngc3324

I took this data a month ago now, but have only just to do some processing on it. I am planning on doing a narrow band and broad band rendition on it but for now I have only got Ha RGB data.

This is a crop of the actual data as I was not 100% happy with the Eta Carina wing being in the image. I thought it dominated too much for my liking.

With the crop in mind I composed the image to show off the star cluster in the top left and of course NGC3324.

As to image I am torn between a slight darker image that I have on hand and this one. Several renderings of star reduction have made for small stars generally but I wonder if the image is a little flat?? In the end I think it is a matter of taste but I welcome other peoples thoughts.

Feel free to provide critique.
