Wonderful, just wonderful.
Almost like a brooding thunderstorm coming in over.....um, a big nebula

Sorry been busy and missed this one. That's a sublime effort Martin!

Even more impressive is the "no magenta stars" (thinks....how did he do that?!)

Bravo! Incredibly smooth and detailed.

Excellent image Martin. I really like the smooth render, tight detail and muted colours.

Gents

many thanks for excellent feedback; very much appreciated.

Peter - perhaps I could demonstrate the 4 techniques I have for those pesky red halos at next year's AAIC

Cheers

outstanding details and (unusual to me since I dislike the narrowband palettes) nice color too! Great shot Martin, the dust into the nebula seems literally floating.. amazing..

That's pretty special. Reminds me of a HST narrow band shot of the keyhole nebula that I love. So much details. Great stuff.

Beautiful image martin - like I'm hovering in space a few light years out with my 550D - so smooth and detailed.

[AG Hybrid (Adrian)]

Such a nice image! Well done.
