Finished the Veil mosaic, I hope!

I think I used up my allowance of expletives for the year. Such an awesome work!

Never say never Terrific work Rick. Print it out in a big mural right up the wall.

Absolutely gorgeous shots Rick, and what massive effort which clearly paid off The colour scheme is unusual, but very striking and good for visualising the various parts of the nebula - I like it If you do make a 'traditionally' coloured version too then it'll be a truly awesome collection of views together with these. Well done

Stunning detail, worth the many hours spent.

Cheers,

Justin.

Ta, Marc. I think I will print this one. At 300 dpi I'll have to crop it a little to get it down to A0 size.

Thanks, Rolf. I appreciate your comments. I plan to have a little break to work on my ColorMask script for PI and then have a go at a more traditional palette. The data is great so it's worth the time to make the best of it.

Thanks, Fred. Might just have been good luck. I have to do it a few more times to get my advanced processing badge

Cheers,
Rick.

Bravissimo!!! Like others have said words fail. And like others I think this will win some top honors assuming you submit it for consideration.

Stunning Rick ... this is a giant epic image !!

All the best,

Thanks, Peter & Leo!

A friend has just printed me a copy at A2 size and it looks fantastic. I have the resolution to go A0 at 300dpi if I can find a large enough space on a wall.

Cheers,
Rick.

Very impressive, Mike! Perhaps I'll have to rent the huge electronic advertising sign I can see from my office window
