Just went back and reprocessed the Helix I shot two months back after trying to reshoot it a couple of days ago without much luck. Bit more work in Photoshop in curves. No fiddling in saturation or colour balance but worked on trying to show that wisp of nebulousity. Think I'm happy with this one now with the gear but suggestions sought. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Scott. Don't know whether I will get as good as data in these warmer months, but sure is a hell of a lot more comfortable sitting out there in the back yard than a couple of months back.
