This is a crop isn't it Paul? I assume to keep those pesky halos outa tha picture?

Yeah the trap got a little off track there. I am not sure why it turned blue really. I will have to go over it again to see where it changed. I might try some contrast enhancement for this particular area to make it more 3D as in what we see in scopes.
Certainly a crop. I don't have a square sensor yet. Not really to keep the aweful blue spikey halos you saw earlier, more just to highlight this area really.
thanks for the constructive comments.

So the look of the colour balance is holding the impact of the image back from being even more impactful.
Hey, nice round stars - the PME eh?

Not sure about the green you are seeing Greg; I have spent a fair bit of time analysing the total colour on this image but it could bare looking again.
Agreed on the blue core. It could undergo another look for sure. for the record I am not sure it looks right. Hubble has produced a green looking core and most from Earth produce a magneta looking core.
Not really happy with the stars on this one though. I had to put the heavy water pipes on for the cooling. This needs some work, but generally the PME produces very tight stars.
Agreed, the colours we end up with a often very personally based. I have come to think that nebulosity should have some element of browns in it. Particularly in this area. I did not force the colour though on the outer parts of the nebula though, these just happened in the processing so I figure it is mostly natural. Opinion of course can vary.
Thanks for you comments. Appreciated.
Houghy, yes like I said the core needs looking at. Glad you like the outer nebulosity.
