Here is my version of the Cats Paw Nebula. Not overly happy with the result, still alot of noise in the image, tried as much as I know. Any helpful suggestions welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Not too shabby I assume you did this with the ST80

and the 40d

Actually this quite a nice image,colour balance and tracking look good.

Can you supply image details as this is always interesting.

Just readjusted the red channel and modified the curve for the red channel abit...might have lost a little but the noise is reduced. See if you like it..

Howdy! Thanks guys! Does look a bit better, thanks, I'll have another fiddle tomorrow!
Ummm.....image details should go with the image, I didn't know they wouldn't show up!
