The wide field scope is working out well it would seem

Mike, Colin, Paul & Rodney, Thanks for your kind compliments
Mike I agree about the stars, I had originally planned to replace them with RGB versions, but I have so far been unable to get it to work properly. One day I'll share a tutorial on replacing NB Stars with RGB ones, as soon as I get my head around a foolproof technique that's 100% reliable!
Paul, I agree that 6164 needs more attention, I locally masked the O3 to bring it up, but probably overdid it - and then it suffered further in the not so subtle overall post production. Rick S has a great version with good detail that's probably a reliable reference for that region.
Colin, I too was overawed when I looked at the images on this forum when I first started out - but everyone has been generous with their feedback and we all continue learn from one another.
