Taking it to the extreme Mike! Enjoyed the view of integrated flux nebulosity. I must say your calibration flats must be spot on as the field is so well corrected resulting in an evenly illuminated background. Darker skies no doubt help. I like the processing on the original true colour image but showing the heavily stretched inverted version makes me wonder whether you should have got more out of the background on the original. Perhaps the use of inverse masks in photoshop would do it, but not sure without seeing the raw files. Would have made an epic picture as there is something super cool about seeing galaxies nestled amongst IFL. M81 and M82 are great examples of this. In any case, top work mate. More please.
