another M20 from Astrofest

M20 was certainly a favorite at this year's Astrofest.

60min each RGB with the Moravian G2-8300 and WO Flt110. Processed in CS3

Not as much dust as I've seen in some, any suggestions on how to dig out it out?

Comments and processing suggestions welcome

I think the dust will pop out if you can darken the background some.
It's a beaut image!

Good stuff, mate! I think the dust is there, just needs some tweaking as JJJ suggested.

Thanks for the tips, I'll give that a try

Looks just a tad flat Geoff, as JJJ said, try and darken the background a little. Some selective curves adjustments within the nebuls will sldo help it pop, and try having a play with the contrast to make it jump a bit more.

Overall, I'm pretty sure it's all there. Nicely done.

Nice photo Geoff.

I like the colours and closeup FOV.

G'day Geoff,

Looks very nice! You just need to process it a few times. I seem to learn something new each time I try again, but maybe I'm just a bit slow

Cheers,
Rick.
