NGC2359 Thor's Helmet

My first try of Thor's Helmet from North Curl Curl imaged Feb.6,7,8 2013.

I found the processing rather difficult and feel I have only partially succeeded. I'm not happy with the green tinge that I could not eliminate and keep a decent blue. I imaged all 1x1 and used everything for luminance (358 min). Amazing to finally have 3 nights in a row. Of course, now it's raining again....

The original full image is rather nice. I struggled to get this down to the required 200 kb, and the image is softer in focus and a bit harder in contrast than the original. I need to find a good spot to post full sized images!

L(134 min - 358 min using RGB) R(72 min) G(80 min) B(72 min) 8 min subs

Thanks for having a look. Tips and comments most appreciated!
