Very Nice David, You have captured loads of detail and you have a wonderful field of view in this image, well done.
thanks Doug. I love this section of sky, so many different nebs and colours, this rates second after Rho oph area. I never dreamt of capturing a shot like this a few years ago, now i am only disappointed i didn't get more data. i should really compare it to my very first shot of this area, this is only the third time i have imaged it. this is a comparison of the development of having no skills whatsoever to the next rung up the ladder of having virtually no skills so its a progress from 2007 until 2009
LOL And I bet we all thought it was absolutely marvellous Dave. I cringe when I look back at what I've posted.
You've come a long way matey boy, imagine what you'll be showing us in 2 years time.

LOL thanks
Well I had a rush of blood and in the absence of SHort exposure data and high resolution frames of the main areas, masking abilities and other image processing all i basically can do is push it to reveal all I can, yes orion is blown out, but i dont care - to me this looks more "natural" ok maybe not but it shows the dust
by the way - I processed this under Duress of Mike Sidonio, RB, Fred V and a few others watching over my shoulder - they were pretty quiet - i must have done something wrong LOL
Mate I was gobsmacked when I saw this shot, I couldn't believe how much dust you captured in the shot.
Love the colours too mate, excellent work.
Fantastic shot David! BTW - I really like the 'natural look' as well. Both processing forms have their place, and for this shot I really feel it works.

Don't worry, you have a long way to go yet. If you post another repro next year then you should seek help

LOL might just do that when i have more image processing skills in the grey area
Ah see Sidonioing is infectious huh? All that tight R's humbug in the past and now everyone is doing it viva la Sidonio (the process, not me )
Yes the dust is there but it is kinda dirty green/red ...blue rules
Mike
LOL but it is dirt - with lots of Hydrogen surrounding it
I suppose it is processing to taste (and in my case ability). Like in the beer at - i am punching well above my weight with no idea to be honest you can be too blue but i need to work out how to get the correct blue
Did you have another go at your image , or are you waiting to get some more data
Harry
ok I had a lunchtime hack - will refine the process and learn the technique but i am slowly getting there - this is horrible but i know where i went wrong
goodness me Mr Sidonio is running rampant again...........OK i couldn't help myself - another version - hopefully better. This is a sickness, fully processed in pixinsight, just one was saturated and one wasn't, and also some different tweaks undertaken. hope it is more acceptable?
so its a progress from 2007 until 2009
ok maybe not but it shows the dust

...blue rules 
oh no i am only crawling ATM - nowhere near the league of Bert. The thought makes me tremble in fear
. 
but i need to work out how to get the correct blue
