Superb vista Martin. As Peter said the Sii came through real strong. Well done. Just one thing I noticed is the Oiii channel in places has a very abrupt layering noticeable in the gabriella mistral bit and a few other places. Did you use a masking technique for the blue bits?
Rather interesting view and colour palette Martin, looks quite good. There have been a few good renditions of this area this year and it's amazing how many different ways this iconic nebula can be presented. Yours reminds me of a strange alien creature rearing up ...is this part of a mozaic by chance?

I think you get the prize for the smallest astro pic ever posted on IIS
Marc - thanks for pointing this out. This area of the image did not actually get any special treatment, but that OIII is sharply cut off, so I will need to address that.
So, I need to:
Fix up the Gabriela Mistral nebula
add RGB stars
fix another star someone has emailed me about
and add back in the mottled green, I actually took out!

How do you layer the Oiii and did you use a ratio of Ha into your Sii channel?
