Welcome there Ken, thank you once again for your dvd still doing a bit of digesting on it, though it has helped my images to no end and helped me teach some of my mates some helpful tricks.

Oh and trevor, you sure you have your glasses on that image is crisp...

Thanks guys, I am really glad the tutorials are helpful. There are many of the methods I use but I do not feel they are the only way or the best way so use them as a reference to build on.

Remember that the Flash Zoomify allows you to look full screen and zoom in. It takes a bit to res up to full quality at fully zoomed in but you can click and drag it around.

I really wanted to push the depth of field on this and pushing the details of the inner star forming regions. The OIII is hot gas that creates a fog that fills the cavity that the other gases leave from the stellar winds. The question is how much to reveal in processing before you loose the effect of seeing Ha and SII structures though this stuff.

Regards,

Congrats on (yet another) APOD ont he 21st January. Terrific work.

Thanks so much for the welcome! Everyone has really made me feel very welcome and I hope I can contribute something here. This forum seems to be very active and a friendly group of fellow imagers...

And thanks for noticing the APOD. . .

Welcome to IIS Ken ... I have quite a few of your images from the RCOS gallery ... you will certainly raise the bar with your imaging on this forum ... bit high for some of us lowly apprentices I fear but it's always good to have something to aspire to
