Nice detail in there Carl, but I think I like the second version more (on astrobin), as the saying goes "there's no green in space"

Thanks for taking the time to look and I agree with you. I can take onboard to much advice and change my image to suit others. Sometimes through this process I lose sight of the image and like my third revision it had nice detail buit the colours were just to much off. I have to keep going with my gut instinct it has worked thus far. Third revision is in the recycle bin where it belongedin the first place.

Carl. It's a very nice image. You've done a great job of acquisition. I think you know that. I really like the original on Astrobin.

Rowland, thanks fot the honest feedback, yes I seem to have grasped the acquisition side pretty quickly sometimes luck is on my side. I do however doubt my ability to get the final product. I first thought my original was great I loved it, however I had feedback on the fact I had lost colour in the larger stars, so I adjusted. Then after looking so much I thought there was to much red, then my third effort ended up very green as seen by the thum below. I did not think the image looked right but feedback still made me feel it was better, it seems to be a viscious circle that you can be lead astray very quickly if you are not careful. It is all part of the learning curve.

It will all come together - good acquisition is where processing starts.
