IC2118 Witch head nebula

Hi all

my first go at the Witch Head Nebula
got some weird stuff happening the corners
but very happy with the result

Nikon D850
Tamron 150-600 G2
skywatcher star adventure 2i
lens at 300mm f/5.6
ISO 1600
52 subs @ 40 sec
15 x darks, flats and bias
stacked in DSS and processed in photoshop
i was struggling with the stars doing weird things decided to convert an image to starless using starnet++ to allow me to concentrate on the nebula
then blended back with the original image.

i know my way around photoshop reasonably well but
if anyone can recommend any reading on the finer arts of photoshop and bringing out the real tiny feint details in nebula i would be very happy.
i know there is more detail to be had in my photos just i haven't got the know how to tease them out

hope you like it
kind regards
Mick
