Total Carina re-work
After having seen Marcus' splendid Carina image, I decided I had an obsession with things being....well red.
Did a total rework of the data, going easy on the h-alpha blend, pushed up the star colours and h-alpha vs h-beta contrast within the nebula.
The question is: Is it any good, or have I mucked it up?
The link is here (file size about 3 meg... not i-pad friendly)

It's bluer, but still not enough blue 
Lovely though.

I like this version. Good colours and smooth detail.

Lovely image Peter but I think Marcus just wins out on the correct colour.
Cheers

Ta Paul...tweaked it some more, but I'm chasing my tail. I suspect I need some more data.

Thanks Steve, yep, Marcus' shot is a pearler...but even that I'm not sure about being "correct" ..non-linear scaling will change saturation and preceived hue...something I suspect the pro's of film never had to deal with.

I think that tweak made it even closer. The centre bright area seems better.

Is it wierd that when I read the thread title, I thought wonder how many panes this mosaic was.
Actually thinking about it, with your new scope wouldn't a "total" carina constelation mosaic be like a 4X4?

Maybe so ... but are either one of us "respecting the light"?

Both Peter & Marcus have excellent images -
they look like APODS.
Both of them have blue showing which in my opinion is correct.
I would have lessened the saturation on both of them by a tiny amount
just to make the clouds look a little less solid.
That would have caused - of course - a lessening of the colour impact
so it gets down to personal taste.

I'd have to say it's pink, not blue...
My daughters (6 & 4) would love it!

Of course she did... but being a girl, she'll be saying "magenta" soon!
Us poor males are limited to red, blue, green and maybe yellow and orange.
